  Charles Dickens

  • 0

  As a gifted writer with a strong interest in supernatural phenomena, Charles Dickens produced a string of ghost stories with enduring charm. Three of them are presented here, of which The Signal Man is one of the best known. Though quite different from his most celebrated realistic and humorous critical novels, these ghost stories, Gothic and grotesque as they are, are of good portrayal, and worth a read/listen.

  I've heard she's always a bridesmaid and never a bride. But I'd make her mine, if she'd let me. 
   
   
   
  Three years ago, I left South Carolina and the woman I love without looking back. Okay, that's a lie. I've spent a fair amount of time imagining myself lounging under that Spanish moss with her. 
   
   
   
  Back then, we didn't have a care in the world. It was simple. Easy. Right. In fact, I'd been about to propose. Then I found out I had a kid I didn't know about, and just like that, everything changed. 
   
   
   
  But, it was wrong to leave Layla the way I did. I'd made a million assumptions I had no right to make. I'll do anything to be the father Grayson needs, and that includes showing him that when you make a mistake, you have to fix it. 
   
   
   
  And when you love someone, you have to fight for them. 
   
   
   
  So now, as a single dad, I'm back in town with one thing on my mind: Make it right with Layla, or go down trying. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  When their mentor ends up on the business end of an assassination attempt, he summons nine men to right old wrongs and track those responsible. The Kings of the Castle, now grown into captains of industry and influential leaders across Chicago, bring their unique skillsets to the daring mission to bring their enemies down—even if they have to rack up a body count to do it.  
    
  The job won’t be easy, and nobody knows it more than the women destined to love each of these men. As powerful forces conspire to twist the Castle’s riches for their own good, convictions are challenged and relationships tested. In the end, will the sacrifices be worth it?
