DEDICATION
This one is for Judy Greenwald Paktor,
a splendid lady who nonetheless
doesn’t like scary stories.
(But you don’t have to read them, Judy.)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
My thanks to all the contributors (and raise a glass to absent friends), and to those who helped with advice, permissions, contact information, and other kindnesses, including Justin Bell, Lynn Bond, Richard Curtis, Robert C. Harrall, Barry Malzberg, Cameron McClure, Lisa Rodgers, David Wixon, George Zebrowski, and probably other kindly carbon-based life forms which my decrepit memory has unforgivably overlooked.
