  Zack de la Rocha, Philip H. Anselmo, Serj Tankian, D. Randall Blythe, Mark Morton, Corey Taylor, Mike Patton, Maynard James Keenan, Billy Corgan, Chad Gray, Robb Flynn, Trent Reznor, Jerry Cantrell, Layne Stanley (R.I.P.) and Peter Steele (R.I.P.), for poetry that has inspired and sustained me far more than simple written words ever could.

  My fellow hellions around the Absolute Write Water Cooler, and all my beautiful bitchez in the Apocaladies.

  My family, for unconditional love.

  But most of all, to you, who hold these words now in your hand.

  May it one day become a fist.

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  JAY KRISTOFF grew up in the most isolated capital city on earth and fled at his earliest convenience, although he’s been known to trek back for weddings of the particularly nice and funerals of the particularly wealthy. Being the holder of an arts degree, he has no education to speak of.

  He is six feet seven inches and has approximately 13,870 days to live. He lives in Melbourne with his wife and the world’s laziest Jack Russell terrier. Visit him online at JayKristoff.com.

  This is a work of fiction. All of the characters, organizations, and events portrayed in this novel are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.
