For Nicola

Just judge of vengeance,

grant the gift of forgiveness,

before the day of reckoning .

—Dies Irae, Requiem Mass

The dumber people think you are, the more

surprised they're going to be when you kill them.

—William Clayton

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thanks to Dino De Laurentüs, Lorenzo De Maio, Ed Wacek, and Igor De Laurentüs, who are the ham in a dinosaur-and-porn-star sandwich. Thanks also to the guys at Night Shade, the Liminals, Gus, and Kathy.

Thanks especially to Tom Waits for letting me carjack some of his beautiful lyrics. If I die first, you can have my bones for a xylophone.

Thanks to Sergio Leone, the Shaw Brothers, Werner Herzog, David Lynch, Takashi Müke, and Richard Stanley for killing pretty.
