+\chapter{Foreword}
+Horror is a genre that has entranced the public for ages. Most of us
+have fond memories of huddling around a copy of {\em Scary Stories to
+  Tell in the Dark}, pretending we weren't scared, daring each other to
+look at certain pictures. We've stayed up late watching horror movies,
+fearing every creak was something coming to get us. The peak enjoyment
+of horror usually falls around the preteen years, when scary movies are
+still scary and parents are more lenient with reading choices. During a
+time when most are just starting to get into horror, one man started
+writing horror.
+
+That man is Ben Biddick. Ben started writing horror when he was twelve,
+and was first published when he was thirteen. His compilation, Horrors,
+had a very limited print run. Due to this, very few people found out
+about it. It remained off of bestseller lists. It received no critical
+acclaim. As it turns out, Horrors was simply eighteen years ahead of its
+time.
+
+Now, thanks to the internet, Ben's masterwork has received a second
+wind. In fact, many people were inspired by Ben's work. This
+compilation is the result of that inspiration. With Ben's permission,
+we’ve included a few of his most terrifying tales. What follows are a
+series of stories that aim to establish the same unique brand of horror
+as the master of terror himself. These stories emulate, derive, or pay
+homage to the classic Biddickian stories from Horrors. Many use Ben's
+beloved tragic hero, Luke Bavarious. Many touch upon Ben's belief that
+children are worthy of attention and respect. All attempt to convey a
+sense of horror that only a thirteen year old can craft.
+
+Hopefully these stories are something you'll tell around campfires for
+generations to come. Hopefully they're something that will haunt
+you. Hopefully they're something awful---something so awful they'll
+inspire you to take up the torch of Biddickian horror as well.
+
