James Agee Jr. writes fictional stories that border on the unknown. When he isn’t reading a book, he is writing one. Stories surround him and he cannot help but write a few of them down. Occasionally, some of those stories turn into books. He firmly believes that words have power and that if you are reading then you are doing yourself a wonderful favor.

Or, if you want a break from Gaiman, pick up Looking For Alaska by John Green, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Maze Runner by James Dashner, or Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth-Grahame Smith.

They had color TVs and video games and home theaters and the internet. What they didn't have any more was a town.
