AKNOWLEDGEMENTSStories can break you. They’re so much more difficult than most anything else you can do. Or maybe I’m exaggerating. I’m not sure, because I just ate a big meal and the food coma is trying to drag me down.
Anyway, I want to give a big thank you to the various authors who read many of these stories and helped me make them better: Lee Thomas, Paul Tremblay, Kelli Owen, Bob Ford, Maurice Broaddus, and Brian Keene. They helped me grow by leaps I didn’t know I could make.
Also, I want to thank some of the editors who originally published these stories and gave them their first shot at life: Ellen Datlow, Richard Chizmar, Paul Goblirsch, Brian Keene (again), Shane McKenzie, Todd Robinson, and several others I’m sure I’m forgetting. I hope you’ll forgive me. Please see above food
