ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

HERE’S WHERE I can open a bottle and raise a glass high to all the people who have brought Ten Low to life:

George Sandison, not just for snatching this book out of the air and patiently cleaning it up, but for championing many a weird and wonderful work of speculative fiction.

Tasha Qureshi, for eagle-eyed editorial skills and for fearlessly stomping the gas on the manuscript. Egészségedre!

The whole team at Titan, for giving Ten and I a home.

Ed Wilson, for buying the first round.

Hélène Butler and Emily Hayward-Whitlock, for being on board from day one.

RJ Barker, for words of encouragement when they were needed.

Lavie Tidhar, for help and hard liquor.

My parents and family for all their support, and Dave, for being a fan.

My sister – as always – for riding shotgun and helping me navigate through the dark.

Nick, for being the best co-pilot I could ask for.
