After the death of one of their group a year earlier during a party, which was thrown in honor of a young actress named Ann-Veronica Moore, the meetings of the Chowder Society have grown dark. The basic plot line follows a group of older gentlemen, dubbed the Chowder Society, who have regular meetings to tell stories. As with most gothic horror novels, the plot isn’t exactly straight-forward. ![]() ![]() Trying to describe Ghost Story is a difficult task. For that reason, I picked Ghost Story, one of his most celebrated gothic novels. Now that I’m older and my tastes have matured some more, I figured it was time to give him another try. His writing style is a bit slower paced than what I’d been used to then, and I’d grown bored and moved on to a different book. Other than his collaborations with Stephen King on The Talisman and Black House, I had not read any of Peter Straub’s novels, save for about half of Mr. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “And this is why I’m a dancer,” Bird said.

The Audiobook versions are fantastic, Kevin T. In a world full of Incubus, Casters, Seers, and Keepers, it's really difficult at times to believe the lengths some of the characters will push their belief that no one around them understands what they are going through, or that they will believe what they say. There are parts that become repetitive, and my only complaint is that none of the main characters (except for Link) seem to be able to tell anyone else what is on their mind. After reading the first book in this series, I devoured the remaining three over a week and a half (Audiobook versions). ![]() I'd love to go into more detail, but why use 100 words when 5 will do?

The story never directly addresses the question of the missing knights, but it is hinted that they became the dragon’s fodder, leaving readers to question Owl’s decision to befriend the beast. The result is both humorous and heartwarming, offering an affirmation of courage and clear thinking no matter one’s size…and demonstrating the power of a midnight snack. While patrolling the castle walls one night, a hungry dragon shows up and Owl must use his wits to avoid meeting a terrible end. He is much smaller than the other knights-in-training, struggles to wield weapons, and has “a habit of nodding off during the day.” Nevertheless, he graduates and is assigned to the Knight Night Watch. When a record number of knights go missing, Owl applies to Knight School and is surprisingly accepted. He imagines himself defeating dragons and winning favor far and wide through his brave exploits. Owl, an adorably earnest and gallant little owlet, dreams of being a knight. ![]() ![]() Montgomery was a solitary child, sensitive, imaginative, and rather out of place in her grandparents' household. ![]() Montgomery's grief-stricken father sent her to live with her elderly, strict Presbyterian maternal grandparents at their isolated farmhouse in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island.
