Arcbeatle Press is proud to announce the release of Sean Dillon’s visionary new solarpunk novel The Tower Through the Trees. "Imagine the crossroads between a Robert Altman movie, an Ursala K LeGuin novel, and one of Bowie's Berlin albums, and you have a good idea of what I'm going with for this book,” Dillon said. His essays have appeared in such publications as PanelXPanel and Comic Book Herald as well as his book One Must Imagine Scott Free Happy. His short fiction has previously been published by Arcbeatle Press. This is his debut novel.
“This is the story of the last city. It has outlived the world that it was born into and it has outlived all its siblings. This is the story of the last city. A ruin built on ruins, where death is a luxury few can afford. This is the story of the last city. Of those who wander within and those who are crushed by its weight. This is the story of the last city. And this is how it died.”
“Sean brings something fresh to this novel that I think readers are going to love and be surprised by,” publisher James Wylder said.
The Tower Through the Trees, a solarpunk novel, will be available in print and ebook formats on March 29th.
