"The only way to measure death is through the death of the mind"
The main character is Henry, fiction editor for the struggling Logan’s magazine. Henry receives an unsolicited short story from up-and-coming novelist Reg Thorpe, and considers the story to be very dark, but also a masterpiece. Through his correspondence with Thorpe, Henry learns of—and, due to Henry’s own alcoholism, comes to believe in—Thorpe’s various paranoid fantasies.
