In the interest of concision, I have invented various documents that appear throughout the text, including letters, newspaper
articles, oral testimonies, and interviews. The book
Dream Plays: A History of Underground Film
and the occult treatise referred to as
The Sephiroth
are also both fictitious.
I would like to thank Bill Clegg, Pat Strachan, Jayne Yaffe Kemp, and Dan Franklin for their help with this book. I am grateful
to Edmund White, John Dalton, Marshall Klimasewiski, Eugene Constan, Christopher Quirk, Amy Madden, Carroll Moulton, Ernie
Hulsey, and David Winner for their friendship and support through many years of writing. I would also like to thank my family,
and especially Sarah.
