Readings.
J. Ryan Sommers enjoys reading his work to crowds in a number of different settings.
It exists in a long forgotten corner of the American dream." - Welcome to Green Valley
On the best days the sky was a tired white. On the worst, it was a green and purple soup that cried." - A Sunny Day
At one time, she was truly a god, worshiped by a nation and venerated by all who dared to believe in something better. Something just." - Hound and a Terrier
Half way between the valley hamlets and the metropolis of Lakeview, Main Street rashly takes a spur away from the SkyTram and routes around a landlocked island for a solid five miles or so in order to avoid a certain forsaken stretch of land. This, my friends, is The Bog—a grotesque garden where desperation grows like flowerbeds into heaps of crumbled brick and flaming husks of shattered lives, where misery takes the shape of tin roofed slums and chimneys abandoned by the homes they once stood next to and climbing clouds of a smoldering tenement will to go on and finally, with a supernatural determination, of souls who move hazily through the chalky air staining everything." - You Just Don't Come Here
