Scott Fitzgerald, Ordinary People by Judith Guest, The Sun Also Rises, The End of Something, and Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway, Watchmen by Alan Moore, Secret Identity by Kurt Busiek, The Question series by Denny O’Neil, , Norwegian Wood, Hear the Wind Sing, and After Dark by Haruki Murakami, The Catcher in the Rye and Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger, Dracula by Bram Stoker, The Body Snatcher by Robert Louis Stevenson, and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.
Fourth, I want to recognize a few films and television series that have helped shape this novel: The Fountain, The Prestige, The Darjeeling Limited, Supernatural, The 400 Blows, American Beauty, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Donnie Darko, Batman: The Animated Series, and Primer.
And finally, thank you to my family for the support through the years.
