Acknowledgments
Thanks to Hanna van der Ven, my most faithful first reader, who reassured me at an early stage that the sound design of the book compensates for the off-putting subject matter. She also modelled for the cover. Special thanks to Alex Hammond for giving me some pointers on editing: I could feel him breathing over my shoulder while I slogged through countless redrafts of the MS.
Finally, many thanks to you, dear reader who bought my book. If you really liked it (or loathed it!) I’d appreciate your customer review on Amazon.
