Sinopse

The Good Companions by J. B. Priestley is a delightful tapestry of English life, set in a moment of economic uncertainty. The novel introduces us to an unlikely group of wanderers, each yearning for a fresh start and new adventures. Their fates converge with a struggling concert party known as the Dinky Doos, and, together, they embark on a vibrant journey across the heart of Britain. Along the way, friendships blossom, secrets surface, and personal dreams begin to intertwine, revealing the surprising ways that human connections can uplift and transform lives.
The story merges elements of comedy, drama, and romance into a perfectly paced narrative about hope and reinvention. As the characters traverse towns and theaters, the story reveals the culture, attitudes, and social realities of Britain, painting a lively portrait of the era with Priestley's signature warmth. Although the group's path is dotted with challenges, they remain buoyed by a palpable sense of optimism, championing the belief that friendship can make even the most difficult circumstances more bearable. Without divulging its final twists, The Good Companions offers a joyous celebration of resilience, artistry, and the transformative power of human spirit, ensuring its lasting place in modern literary history.

    WITH A ROMAN SOLDIER… 
    Enter an enchanted world of Song, Ceremony, and reverence for the Earth’s seasonal cycles. The Tribes of Albion honor their wise Druid advisors, their prophetic Healers and Seers, and their divinely inspired Bards. In this culture, women stand as respected equals with men.

Cerridwen thrives in Avalon under the tutelage of the Merlin and the Lady of Avalon.

    When Hannah visits a haunted prison, what will she find in the deadly small hours? 
    Hannah is driven to right her wrongs. After a drunken 21st birthday dare left her with a shadow figure always around, the now-sober 28-year-old resolves to return to the scene of the crime. Determined to give back an eerie stolen piece of possessed fabric, she attends a phantom-hunting event with her best friend Christian, run by Get Haunted, at the Missouri State Penitentiary … to spend the night. 
    Going from one creepy location to another in the dark hours, Hannah watches Christian experience increasingly spine-chilling incidents one after the other. And when she can’t remember where the object belongs and tries one last cell, a vengeful specter refuses to let them leave … 
    She may have walked in … but will she walk back out with her life? 
    Intent on crafting a perfectly authentic and scary setting, author Brian Paone spent eight weeks writing this ghost-hunt-gone-wrong story from empty cells inside the Missouri State Penitentiary. And as he takes us to where his imagination ran wild while typing in the pitch blackness of night, fans of the genre will soon discover that same hair-raising thrill. 
    These Walls Still Talk is a deliciously macabre horror novel. If you like characters to root for, ghoulish goosebumps, and insidious intentions, you’ll love Brian Paone’s frightful venture.
