ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I want to thank Ron Earl Phillips for pulling this book from the slush pile and being its first fan. To everyone who read this book—Penni Jones, Steph Post, Kelli Jo Ford, David Joy, Gabino Iglesias, Bonnie Jo Campbell, S.A. Cosby, Michael Farris Smith, Nick Kolakowski, Scott Phillips, Stephen Mack Jones, J. David Osborne, and Dr. Theo C. Van Alst Jr—thank you!
To everyone reading Sangre Road, thank you, too. Sangre Road came from my first summer in a rural Oklahoma college town that I christened with the name of a nearby ghost town. Sometimes, the people who are stuck in college towns after the spring semester stagnate during the dog days of summer, but those same folks will talk without speaking and tell a story I am forced to write down when watched closely. Enjoy.
Moses Kincaid will return soon.
