I know of no other anthology series with such a close-knit and supportive team of professionals analyzing popular culture both independently and together. Kate and company make me feel truly fortunate. J., she still looks out for me and remains forever part of the team. Even though my original editor, Connie Santisteban, has left Sterling on her greatest adventure, raising little J. Many other Sterling folks helped us bring these books to life: Ardi Alspach, Toula Ballas, Betsy Beier, Michael Cea, Sari Lampert, Damien Martinez, Marilyn Spetzer, Lauren Tambini, Theresa Thompson. Sterling Publishing editor Kate Zimmermann, publicist Blanca Oliviery, and I agreed during lunch one day that the time had come. Wife Rebecca gets the greatest credit as my sounding board, proofreader, colleague, best friend, oracle, and partner who keeps up with all kinds of things when I lose myself in the lore.įor quite a while, I’ve wanted to cover Supernatural. Sister-in-law Sharon Manning is a great help to us.
Through sons Alex and Nicholas, my wife and I have also welcomed Carly Cate, Michael Dorman, Sarah Fuller, Stephen Huckabee, Ryne Johnston, Cordell Moss, Jimmy and Nicole Smith, and Tim Yarbrough into the Langley fold. My daughter-in-law Katrina Hill, my son-by-other-mortals Mark Head, and Marko’s fiancée Renee Cooey prove family does not end with blood. For all the horror and adventure that characterize the stories, you miss the essence of Supernatural if you don’t discuss that, and so we dedicate this book to family. However ironic it might seem, Supernatural Psychology: Roads Less Traveled may be the most down-to-earth book we’ve written yet. Here, we have landed on a version of our contemporary world, one where ghosts lurk in shadows, monsters inhabit the countryside, demons and angels clash while humanity gets caught in between, and two brothers ride ready to take them all on. 2 Other psychologists and accomplices have joined this excursion, crossing space and time in the topics we’ve covered 3 before coming back to the here and now. 1 Through the books that have followed, figures along this road have included zombies, dragons, time travelers, more superheroes, and mortals who must deal with them all. Where does any journey begin, and when? When you get into a vehicle or before that when you pack your bags, when you make the choice, when you develop a preference behind the choice, where your parents met? My life’s journey took a detour when my son Nicholas and I discovered our love of fan conventions, and my decision that summer to write about a bat-themed superhero has kept me off the main highway ever since. We traveled a long road to get here and would be hard pressed to say where the road began or when we merged onto it. # The Family That Hunts Together # – I – # Travis Langley, PhD # Editor #
