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.

Austin suffers from achluophobia-a paralyzing fear of darkness. She seems to be coping well, until she's accidentally trapped in a windowless room and the lights go out. Needing help to overcome the panic attacks that leave her unconscious, she starts seeing a not unattractive therapist. Her search for healing is sidetracked, however, when she realizes that each time she has an attack someone close to her is killed. As the body count rises, Austin is driven to find the killer, but where should she begin her search? Is someone seeking revenge? Has a serial killer come to her quiet Pacific Northwest town? Or, has something sinister followed her from childhood-something she met once before-in the dark?
