ACKNOWLEDGMENTSACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I MUST FIRST ACKNOWLEDGE THE EDITORS OF THE FOLLOWING PUBLICATIONS, where portions of The Revelator previously appeared: A-Minor, the Atticus Review, Everyday Genius, Newfound, and PANK.

I must also thank Chris Backley, Steve Himmer, and Amber Sparks for commenting on early drafts of The Revelator. Thanks also go to Matt Bell, Blake Butler, Eugene Marten, Joshua Mohr, and Lidia Yuknavitch for their generous blurbs and Matt Kish for the beautiful cover and illustrations.

Further gratitude is owed to Kent D. Wolf for his hard work on behalf of this novel and to Chris Heiser and Olivia Smith for taking on the book.

And finally, and as always, to Karissa and Iris, for placing a light within the darkness.
