YOU THERE

YES YOU! I KNOW YOU SEE ME

JUST STOP, LISTEN:

WHAT DO YOU REALLY KNOW OF THE WORLD YOU INHABIT?

FROM WHENCE COMES YOUR FOOD? WHERE GOES YOUR WATER? WHO BUILT YOUR HOUSE?

HOW DO YOU READ THESE WORDS?

WE LIVE IN MAGICAL TIMES FOR SURE

HERE IS A TALE OF ANOTHER WORLD, WITH DIFFERENT MAGIC

IT IS A CITY CALLED HEAVEN, AND AFTER THIS WEEK, EVERYTHING CHANGES

Twelve score and six years ago, the Founders crash-landed in a new world.

Fleeing the war-scathed Old Continent, Heaven’s Founders crossed the Poison Sea and found a vast, unspoiled jungle. They settled a utopia based on Merit, Logic, and Freedom. 246 years later, no one is worried about stuff like that anymore.
Felix, Regina, Jimmy, and Vic are young outsiders in the lower Heaven slums. The four would-be friends try to make it through the week it all unravels without being robbed or scammed, mauled in the jungle, or turned into Stormtouched outcasts by the next change in the climate. And if it weren’t for their numerous personality flaws, they might have avoided the spiraling journey into the brain matter of Heaven’s undoing.

TIME IS ALWAYS NIGH FOR SOMEONE

WHAT WILL YOUR END MEAN?

Lower Heaven is a novel by Ben Loomis. It’s a five-episode series about magical storms, the fall of civilization, the nature of time, and friendship. If your brain is broken and your attention span is short and just want to see it all end sometimes, you are not alone. This book is about that too.

WE WILL ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN SOMEDAY

BUT WHICH DAY WILL IT BE?
