ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Nick Redfern: I would like to offer my very sincere thanks to my agent, Lisa Hagan, without whose tireless work you would not be reading this book; my co-author, the near-legendary Brad Steiger; and everyone at Visible Ink Press.
Brad Steiger: Some special folks must be thanked for their esoteric skills and knowledge related to Voodoo, Hoodoo, sorcery, necromancy, and the spectres of New Orleans: Lisa Lee Harp Waugh, Laura Lee Mistycah, Aylne Pustanio, Paul Dale Roberts, and Ricardo Pustanio, who also contributed some brilliantly spooky art pieces, as well as portraits of contemporary Voodoo/Hoodoo priests and priestesses. As in every VIP endeavor which I undertake, the project soon becomes a collaborative effort. A grateful thanks to my co-author, Nick Redfern, a man of great talent, wit, and charm; our always helpful and painstakingly precise editor, Kevin Hile; our insightful publisher, Roger Jänecke; Mary Claire Krzewinski, creative art director; Shoshana Hurwitz for indexing; Dorothy Smith and Aarti Stephens, hardworking proofreaders; and my friend and favorite typesetter in the publishing world, Marco Di Vita. I must also thank the brightest light in my life, Sherry, who is always there to pull me out of the shadows when I stray too far into the darkness.
