A Detroit ghost hymn. A five-book argument about the Promised Land. A memoir finding its name. These are the books of Closed Press.

"The rain came down like rust over the city."
From the roof of the abandoned Michigan Central Station, photographer Lena Vale watches the skyline glow in fractured pieces. Beneath the factories, the churches, the boarded-up houses, something ancient is feeding.
A supernatural thriller sung in Detroit's own key.

What if the Promised Land was never in the Middle East at all? Gene Perritt makes the scriptural, biological, and geological case for America as the land the old text describes: the milk, the honey, the wild ox, the granite mountains the psalms remember. Read the argument, then test it against the land under your feet.
