"In the process of making his last horror movie, sixty-eight-year-old Simon Moro finds the low-budget remake of Poe's 'The Raven' exceedingly bland compared to the movies of his past and decides to end his career with a gruesome and grand personal statement."--NoveList.
E. L. Doctorow
It is the Great Depression of the 1930s, and a passionate young man from Paterson, New Jersey, leaves home to find his fortune. What he finds, on a cold and lonely night in the Adirondack Mountains, is a vision of life so different from his own that it changes his destiny, leading him from the side of a railroad track to a magical place called Loon Lake.

It begins fine and familiar and hokey and breezy. Heather, son of the Episcopal Bishop of Kansas City, arrives at Harvard in the late Forties, reads books, sleeps with a girl, and is generally unhappy. The confessional habit of the older Heather looking back on all this is not one that encourages us to take it very seriously. --NY Review of Books.
