title: Descriptions of Heaven
author:  Randal Eldon Greene 
description: "Some authors tell great stories with drab prose, and some have striking prose, but no real story. Greene nails both." -Unbroken Journal<br /><br />"What's surprised me is how such a short book has left lasting thoughts. Greene's use of words has evoked such vivid images and thoughts that I find I'm contemplating life and death myself. An interesting and thought-provoking read." -Happymeerkatreviews<br /><br />"This is an accomplished work. Greene has addressed a great deal of material in a short space. His story is physically minimal while his prose, and the ideas and situations it conveys, are expansive. Greene does very effective work with very few pages. In the process, he has created a thoughtful and emotional novel that examines with intelligence and compassion the deepest levels of human suffering and loss." -Colorado Review

  PARADISE LOST
  
  Crawling from the wreckage of Armageddon, humanity endures, mutated and
  forever altered. Gone are the comforts of civilization, replaced by a
  bloodlust to survive. Deathlands is a tortured landscape where peace and hope
  struggle to take root. Still, Ryan Cawdor and his band push onward, seeking a
  place to call home.
  
  SWARM OF MADNESS
  
  If any kind of utopia exists in postapocalyptic America, Ryan and his
  companions have yet to find it. But high in the Virginian mountains, their
  quest may find its reward. Heaven Falls is an agrarian idyll, its thriving
  inhabitants harnessing powerful feminine energy and the medicinal qualities of
  honey. Bountiful and serene, this community is the closest thing to sanctuary
  the companions have ever encountered. But as they are seduced by a life they
  have only envisioned, they discover Heaven has a trapdoor that opens straight
  to hell…
