Puzzle Notes
BOO!
The Inkubator is jumping out from behind a gravestone to bring you a special
treat! We hope you'll enjoy this
tricky cryptic from Stephanie Cerra as you tell tales from the crypt on Halloween night. We think you'll find it
very challenging!
A longtime fan of cryptic crosswords, Stephanie began constructing them a few years ago, and this is her second published puzzle (the first was Inkubator's first bonus, back in March!). She's a book reviewer for
Kirkus Reviews and a freelance writer, editor, and tutor with a master's degree in English literature/Victorian studies from Indiana University. Stephanie lives in Redwood City, CA, with her husband, Paul, and cat, Mr. Pancks. Find her on Twitter at
@StephanieCerra.
When you're done solving, check out
Diary of a Crossword Fiend for a write-up and discussion, every Friday after an Inkubator puzzle is published. For general updates, follow us on twitter at

Coming up next, on November 7: a character study from Zhouqin Burnikel.
Spookily,
Laura and Tracy
