Will the Sun Ever Come Out Again? (22 page)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The sad fact of the matter is, no matter how hard I try to remember everybody I owe a serious thanks to, I’m going to forget somebody. If you’re someone I end up forgetting, I’m sorry. Please don’t hate me.

First off, thanks to J. David Osborne for both bringing this collection to life and for letting me give it a long and ridiculous title. You rule so damn hard.

Thank you so much to Laird Barron for the wonderful introduction.

Thanks to Paul Goblirsch and Larry Roberts, who published the original editions of these novellas.

A special round of thank you’s to my friends who keep me sane and remain my friends despite my flakey, anti-social behavior: Shawna Blount, Lee Thomas, Sheresa Edgington, Cole Latimer, Chris Nicholas, Michael Barnes, David Lamplugh, Ek Timrerk, Marilyn Nguyen, Thanh Ong, Alyssa Blount, Wrath James White, Ed Kurtz, Michael Louis Dixon, and Tristan Thorne.

And finally, a most sincere thanks to Shane McKenzie and Gabino Iglesias. First fried pie is on me.
