The Evil Inside

For Lisa Manetti, Corinne De Winter,

Brent Chapman, Juan Roca, Dennis Pozzessere,

Jason Pozzessere, Dennis Cummins, and all our

group, and the amazing scares and laughs

we all shared at the Lizzie Borden House.

(And thanks to the house’s beautiful current owner!)

In memory of my in-laws,

Angelina Mero and Alphonso Pozzessere;

I can’t think of Massachusetts without

thinking about them, and smiling.

And in memory of Alice Pozzessere Crosbie and

“Uncle Buppy,” and for the Crosbie clan,

Steven, Ginger, Linda, Tommy, Billy,

and Mary, and their families.

And for the great, diverse state of Massachusetts.

Especially Gloucester, and Hammond Castle,

where Derek and Zhenia had

the most beautiful wedding ever.
