Note on the compilersThe compilers of The Book of Freaks live inAtlanta, Georgia. The compilers were born on thewest coast of North America, in California, near SanFrancisco, and thus retain some of the characteristics ofthe San Franciscan. As a matter of ethos, the compilersare currently professors of composition, literature, andcreative writing. They are the authors of a previousvolume, Prose. Poems. a Novel., published in 2009 byOrange Alert Press. Their prose and poetry has appearedin literary magazines such as The Chattahoochee Review,The Literary Review, and Copper Nickel, among others.It should be noted that beginning in the fourth grade,and carrying on into high school, the compilers sufferedfrom a debilitating disease called Cholesteatoma, a tumorthat eats away at the ossicles of the middle ear, and thatcan eventually eat away the layer of skull separating theear from the brain, thus exposing the brain to potentialinfection. The compilers are consequently sufficientlydeaf, which has been a nuisance to their wife. Said wifeof the compilers works as a lawyer, an occupation forwhich clarity has always been an issue. However, the wiferemains loving, for which the compilers are eternallygrateful. Information about the compilers can be foundat jamieiredell.blogspot.com.
