DEDICATION
This one is for John the Balladeer, Jules de Grandin, Dr Laban Schrewsbury, Carnacki, John Silence, Van Helsing, and many other members of a fraternity too long to list here. Nor may we forget Prince Zaleski, Nayland Smith or Sherlock Holmes; except that in their case, despite bordering on the supernatural more than once, their deductions were not so much paranormal as 'elementary'.
