To my wife, Andrea, my parents, and my friends who continue to have my back through thick and thin in this crazy world.
To my second eyes: Rena Mason, Patrick Freivald, Erinn Kemper, Peter Salomon, and Chantal Noordeloos – as always, you helped shave off the rough edges!
To writers everywhere: you are the ones who are the story tellers, who keep the tales and traditions and legends alive.
And to the editors and artists at Samhain, especially Don D’Auria, who continue to put out exceptional quality for all those readers who enjoy a shiver and a nightmare with their reading.
