Thank you to the team at Little, Brown Books for Young Readers for such an incredible cover, beautiful interiors, eagle-eyed copyedits, and for endless support and love; as well as Natali and Valerie, the trade marketing and digital marketing interns at NOVL, for fun and games, and for always having a shout-out to hand. You keep books fun and relevant on social media, for which I am definitely thankful. Thank you, Alvina et al., for allowing me the space to use my art in a book like this too.
My early readers, Kat Ellis, Ashley Hartzell, Patti Rossier, and my family for their continued support; to Lindzi for writing sessions, the weirdest (and best) conversations ever, and for the spooky tales. Shout-out and thank you to Jennifer Faughnan (@jennielyreads) for endless enthusiasm and for always having an ear. I love you!
To the bloggers and booktubers who have shown such love for my books, I couldn’t have reached so many readers without you. Special thanks to Cameron Chaney for your love of horror and absolutely brilliant horror book reviews! To the close community of bookish fiends on Instagram, including @ladiesofhorrorfiction, I adore you and am grateful for your enthusiasm in spreading the word about the female horror writers who are too often overlooked. What a great community we have.
And to my readers—thank you. You make this possible. Very special thank you to those readers who take the time to read, review, comment, and rate my books on Amazon, Goodreads, and other social media outlets and for spreading the word. Your Instagram accounts are devilishly gorgeous and I can’t wait to see what you do with them next!
Finally, a request: If you are depressed, alone, suffering, or just need an ear, please call someone. Anyone. You are not alone. But if all else fails, send me a tweet, email, or message and I will do my best to reply.
Teeth in the Mist came out of a very dark, lonely time in my life, and no one should suffer alone. So for those of you who scream in silence, look for the light.
