This story began as a recurring daydream I had back in the early 1990s after reading an article in the WVU student newspaper about a mysterious room found in the attic of one of the older dorms. I started working on an outline around 1995, I guess, and then I wrote a first draft in the late ‘90s. That was right after my head surgeries. I was only 31, but I no longer believed I had all the time in the world, and I wrote The Raven’s Sepulcher with a kind of feverish intensity. I tried to say everything I needed and wanted to say in this book before it was too late.
There are elements of this story that are dark, disturbing and macabre, but ultimately, it’s a story about liberation and self-acceptance.
