Higher Climbs The Fire

This book should be read loud Not aloud... LOUD A folk rock fantasy western that reads like Mark Twain’s Dune. In a future primitive where most of the Old Electric World has been lost, Mal Leatherberry is a folksinger cursed with an uncommon singing voice. A voice which holds an otherworldly sway over almost everyone who hears its song. She’s used it to make herself the symbol for a heretic rebellion against a fascist, religious empire known simply as The Church. But now she’s starting to lose her lack of faith. And maybe even worse, her musical inspiration. Mythic, elemental...irresponsible, The Bleeding Tree Trilogy takes readers for a weird ride into a world of ragparty revelries, murderous ministers and gramophone ghastlies. Author Tony McMillen (Lumen, Serious Creatures, Attaboy, An Augmented Fourth) creates a series that mixes the low fidelity mystery of Bob Dylan’s Basement Tapes with the dreamlike delights of Stephen King’s Dark Tower.
