The following pages had been prepared, for the most part, for publication, before it was known that the question of Ritual would be discussed in Convocation, or a Committee of the Lower House appointed, by the direction of the Upper House, to report upon it. But the suggestions here offered are of so general a character, that it seemed to the writer that they might still without impropriety be put forth as a contribution, of however humble a kind, to the general ventilation of the subject. It was the writer's hope, as expressed in the original announcement of the Pamphlet, that his Diocesan, the venerable Bishop of Exeter, would have been able to prefix, in an Introduction, his opinion on the leading points, whether of Ritual or Doctrine, involved in the present controversy. And, although that hope has been in part frustrated, he has still been privileged to embody, in an Appendix, his Lordship's deliberate judgment on some of the weightier matters of Eucharistic Doctrine; and to receive an assurance of his warm interest in the subjects dwelt upon in these pages.

"Not Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll, but Sex, Crime and Rock 'n' Roll. Freeman's insider knowledge of the music industry gives this fresh Jersey noir extra heavy metal."-Ethan Iverson, The Bad Plus "An even cursory glance at what we had so piquantly once called 'newspapers' will show that while truth is stranger than fiction it's not nearly as well written. Freeman's FIFTY FOOT DROP, mixing modalities he knows well-music, metal, Jersey and crime-manages to make one hell of a hardboiled treatise on all of the above. And then some. Freeman's not a pretty man and thank god, neither is his writing."-Eugene S. Robinson, author, A LONG SLOW SCREW and FIGHT, OR EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ASS KICKING BUT WERE AFRAID TO GET YOUR ASS KICKED FOR ASKING "FIFTY FOOT DROP plunges us into a sinister underworld of shady deals, uneasy alliances, and a big score that goes wrong in all the right ways. Freeman brings a convincing expertise and perceptive eye to both the machinations of the music business and the New Jersey neighborhood of working class immigrants where this engrossing crime story unfolds."-Scott Von Doviak, author, CHARLESGATE CONFIDENTIAL (Hard Case Crime, 2018) Rock singer Taylor Bailey's career was on the rise-until his tour bus slid off an Ohio highway, badly injuring him and his brother.

He's also a vampire, in a world where his kind have come out of the shadows and are under governmental observation. They call themselves "drinkers" now, and they go to meetings to keep the urge to hunt at bay. When a drinker couple hires him to find their missing human daughter, he's thrown into a dark underworld where drinkers prey on the people they call "bleeders," and plot to rule a planet they see as rightfully theirs. Harry has to find the girl, and keep himself alive in a world where a powerful, predatory drinker gang and the police would both just as soon see him disappear.
