An offbeat climate parable about a disillusioned apocalyptic prophet in a desert full of saints, sinners, and beasts. "Perfection . . . A work of genius." —Steven Peck, author of A Short Stay in Hell _"The sun is darkened...The moon is turned to blood..."_The Desert Prophet knows that the world is ending—and that it’s our fault. But even as seas rise and the earth shakes, no one is listening. So why preach at all? The Desert Prophet shakes the dust off their feet and puts an end to their voice of warning. But resigning your calling as apocalyptic prophet is not so easy. The Desert Prophet must cross a desert full of saints, sinners, and beasts to climb the Mountain and justify their choice to the Desert God. Now the Desert Prophet must fully reckon with the consequences of their resignation, and what it means to live a moral life in a world that seems to be ending.
