Thank you, first and foremost, to Angela Slatter, who helped look over These Deathless Bones, and who, in many way, was instrumental in all the successes that followed. You’re a brilliant writer, a selfless teacher, and I still re-read Finnegan’s Field like clockwork. (If you’re reading this and you’re thinking what should I start with, you should absolutely check out All the Murmuring Bones, which is probably one of my favorite gothic works ever.)
Thank you to Ellen Datlow. For your grace, for your friendship, for the gift of your editing. I will always be in awe of how you can shift through the dross and find the gleaming heart of a story inside.
Thank you to Mouse for being my first reader, for everything, for being you. Thank you to Michael Curry, my darling agent, for always having my back. Thank you to my editor, Michael Kelly, for everything you’ve done to help me during a difficult time and for the gorgeousness you put into the world.
