What if Geoffrey Chaucer walked into a modern day 24 hour diner?
What sort of characters would he meet? What sort of stories would
they tell? In Diner Tales, Bunch reboots Chaucer's master work,
capturing the "motley ensemble" of insomniacs who gather late at
night in a diner to entertain each other with stories. Chaucer
wrote for the masses and by moving his retreatment to the new world
and the new era Bunch reclaimed the simple, often bawdy fun of the
original from the shelf of stuffy academia. Don't let this
easy-to-read set of tales deceive you. Bunch has studied history
and literature in England, and regularly edits the Canterbury Tales
page for Shelfari. By combining authentic flair with updated charm
Diner Tales delivers the spectacle of story one entertaining
installment at a time.
Winter camp is over. Now it's back to reality for the group as they
struggle to maintain their bonds amidst dysfunctional families,
dying friendships, and peer pressure. Hating his new-found ability,
Marcus strives to block out high school drama until the destructive
secrets of a fellow student prove too dangerous to ignore. Can he
act soon enough to keep damaging emotions from cutting too deep, or
will all his attempts keep him at odds with friends old and new?
With Jessica's ex-boyfriend out of the picture, Trevor makes plans
to make his move. Only it looks like one of his best friends has
beaten him to it. Afraid of being a loser forever, Trevor's fear
might just push him over the edge and away from the very ones who
care for him most. Refusing to accept the terminal diagnosis of her
mother's cancer, Jessica escapes from her own problems to help a
friend. But time is running out. When Jessica finally decides to
reconcile, it may be too late. Trials will come, the past will
resurface, and friendships will be tested. In the end there will be
blood, fear and pain.
