Acknowledgments

Novels are hard. First novels are harder. Thanks to everyone who put up with me as I struggled to yank the damn thing from my skull.

Thanks to Jedidiah Ayres and J. David Osborne for early reads and input. Thanks as always to Nat Sobel and Megan Lynch for their support and acumen. Thanks to Boards of Canada, Electric Wizard, Sunn O))), Sleep, and Earth for the writing music.

Thanks to the bear, who isn’t real, but is true.
