Voice of the Fire is the first novel from Alan Moore, acclaimed comic book writer. The twelve-chapter book was initially published in the United Kingdom c. 1996. The narratives take place around Moore’s hometown of Northampton, England during the month of November, and span several millennia — from 4000 B.C. to the present day. This 2004 edition from Top Shelf Productions features an introduction from Neil Gaiman and colour plates by artist José Villarrubia. The story follows the lives of twelve people who lived in the same area of England over a period of 6000 years, and how their lives link to one another’s.
Ships promptly in a secure mailer with the book wrapped in both craft paper and bubble wrap.
