Shadows of Old Ghosts

by Stephanie Zayatz

  Bill Adams, Kristin Bovaird-Abbo, Charlotte Herring, and Carl Morrow for reading this in its various incarnations over the last many years and being my first cheerleaders.

  Eliot Reese for co-writing all those stories with me way back when and putting me on this road.

  Lisa Zimmerman for being my teacher, mentor, and spiritual advisor, and reminding me I have a voice.

  Mumford & Sons, Hozier, and Ray LaMontagne, without whose music this would never have been completed.

  And my parents, Allen and Michelle Zayatz, for not being super mad when I decided to change my major and get a degree in English halfway through my senior year of college. Hope this helps make up for that.
