0385249519		 Turner Ashenden is failing as a student in a college he despises. All around him are misfits, inept terrorists, and would-be philosophers. His only friend is a lunatic named Black Malachi Pantera, who spends his days seducing young coeds and ranting about Turner's heroic destiny.

But today, all that is going to change. Before sundown, Turner will discover the Bad Winters Institute of Science and Philosophy, a secluded mansion in the mountains near the college. He will meet the exotic Madame Gwendola and the incredibly beautiful Maridel. And he will use an arcane machine to finally come face-to-face with -- himself?

Views from the Oldest House is a journey through realms both real and imagined: a richly told tale of love, legends, death, rebirth, and revolution -- a book that will be talked about for years to come.
