A lifelong student of Forteana, Gavin is endlessly fascinated not only by weird events but also the equally strange people who crowd around them like flowers beside an unnamed grave. As an Accelerated Necromancer he finds himself uniquely positioned to offer a digital memento mori of sorts for these colourful characters, preventing them from being forgotten. So the following is a constantly updated list of the fallen from within the occult and paranormal spheres, ordered monthly by date of death as opposed to birth.
