Publisher's Synopsis
There are two things that Lily knows for certain. One: Bert and Ernie are gay. Two: fiction is better than reality.In a world of mundane rituals, days bleeding together and blending in as one, and time refusing to slow down, there is but one escape. To seek out something bigger, surround oneself with fictional from books to movies to television and to chase thrills with a bit of casual interest in ghost hunting on the side.But a nameless non-American American sounding man and a corpse-cold box that mirrors the sky may lead to something not only out of our living world to the ghostly one beyond, but out of our world, our time, and even rational thought itself to prove that reality and fiction have a very thin line between them. The only way to learn is going into the sky box to shine a golden red light on The Unknown World.Lily Swift is an ordinary human with an extraordinary mind. In fact, there are any humans out there with minds superior to the mundane and dull nature of the masses. Most of the mindless are to lost to see it. Even some of the most intelligent minds on the planet fall under the spell of the sheep-like.Those with greater minds long for something more. The Prophesied One can deliver it. He will show you it all, from ghosts to the world of science fiction that simply can not be real. He can show you the world, if you come with him and you don't say no.No longer will those who live vicariously through and constantly reference fiction by means of escape have to escape their deadened reality this way. For some, a real escape is available. An escape from normality and routine, an escape from The Known World and even escape from the restriction of trying to get to know yourself truly, but not yet being able to due to being trapped in a time without the helpful information as accessible as it should be.Join this human in their every day life. Live the mundane, long and ritualistic days. And then watch them find what they deserve and save the world.This is the BLACK AND WHITE version of the book.
