This has to get 5 stars because I'm in it (mine is the last story in the collection titled "Worn Wood") but there are also many other great stories to be found throughout its pages. Highly recommended especially if you like to see a large range of voices and ideas.

Wonderful collection of short HORROR!!! stories.

My recommendation is to always start a short story collection off with at least two strong stories. Unfortunately, that is not the case with Crypt Gnats. It's not until the 7th or 8th story in when my reading began to pay some dividends with tales that captured my interest and imagination.
"The Field of Horrors" and "Markers" are good horror stories. I also liked, "The Ginger Man." "Help Wanted" is a brilliant, comedic little gem. "Nineteen Eighty Something" is probably the story that has the most horror to it; a mother who can no longer ignore the signs that her child is different, and not in a good way. It's every mother's nightmare. In "Perfection" a stalker becomes more than a stalker. This one is creepy and one of the best stories in the collection.
On the surface, this short story collection gave promise of good scares and good horror, but only a few stories delivered on that promise. I think a true horror fan will be disappointed.

But, in general, one of the better anthologies I have read.
