 This book is dedicated to my parents:

 For my father, who by his example

taught me how to be a husband and a father.

 For my mother, who by her constant encouragement

gave me the courage to chase my dreams.

 Thank you both for always believing.

 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

 I’d foremost like to thank my wife, Dawn, who found the original handwritten manuscript of this novel in a shoe box in the closet and insisted that I submit it. Without her, this book wouldn’t exist.

 In addition, my thanks also go out to my agent, Bob Diforio, for taking a chance on an unknown writer; my editor, Amy Pierpont, for working closely with me to bring this book into your hands; the many members of the Horror Writers Association whose votes placed this book on the Bram Stoker Award ballot in its original small press version; the judges of the International Horror Guild Awards who likewise saw fit to nominate it in their best first novel category; and to my friends Jon and Drew, for offering encouragement and critique of not only this work but my writing in general.
