As a child, I was certain I knew where the monsters in my closet hid, so I didn't go in there after sunset. Nothing much has changed over the years. I don't have the same closet anymore, but there are always new closets, shower curtains hiding whatever's lurking in the tub, dark hallways, noises in the night, and, well, darkness. Maybe that's why I've always been drawn to fantasy. All of that braving of the darkness in spite of monsters, evil wizards, huge dark chasms ... and the heroes almost always start out as regular folks (Harry and Hermione, Frodo, Katniss Everdeen, Buffy). Fantasy stories scare me, thrill me, teach me, and give me hope. Most importantly they entertain me. I hope The Abode will entertain you as well. Perhaps, if you're like me, some of your fear of the dark will dissipate after reading this book. I hope so. So, find your wingsong, keep your dragon fire burning, and enjoy!
