Synopsis

In "The Dreamers: A Club," John Kendrick Bangs crafts a whimsical and imaginative narrative that blends elements of fantasy and satire. Through the lens of a fictional club populated by dreamers, Bangs explores the absurdities of human aspiration and the juxtaposition of dreams with reality. The literary style recalls the playful irony of 19th-century American literature, where humor and social commentary intertwine. Set against the backdrop of an emerging modern age, this work captures the anxieties and hopes of a society grappling with rapid change, while inviting readers to ponder the transformative power of dreams. John Kendrick Bangs was a prolific writer, known for his humorous and often surreal narratives. His background as an editor and journalist allowed him to keenly observe the societal trends of his era, which undoubtedly influenced the thematic concerns of "The Dreamers." Bangs's fascination with the complexities of human nature and his penchant for blending the imaginative with the mundane resonate throughout the text, offering insights into the aspirations and follies of his contemporaries. Readers who appreciate imaginative storytelling infused with humor and social critique will find "The Dreamers: A Club" an exhilarating read. Bangs'Äôs clever prose and delightful characterization invite reflection on the nature of dreams and the whimsical paths they can forge, making this work not only entertaining but also profoundly thought-provoking.

    She's been living it up in New York City, spending her nights talking her way into glamorous parties before heading home in the early hours to her hot boyfriend Luke. 
     
    But her sensible older sister showing up and sending her off to actual rehab wasn't quite part of her plan.

    Spencer Quinn's Bark to the Future continues the adventurous New York Times and USA Today bestselling series that Stephen King calls “without a doubt the most original mystery series currently available.” 
     
    When Chet the dog, “the most lovable narrator in all of crime fiction” (Boston Globe), and his human partner, PI Bernie Little, are approached by a down-andout older man with a cardboard sign at an exit ramp, Bernie is shocked to discover  
    the man is a former teammate from his high school baseball team. Chet and Bernie take Rocket out for a good meal, and later, Bernie investigates Rocket’s past, trying to figure out what exactly went wrong. 
     
    Then, Rocket goes suspiciously missing. With his former teammate likely in danger, Bernie goes back to his old high school for answers, where much that he remembers turns out not to be true—and there are powerful and dangerous  
    people not happy with the questions Bernie is asking. 
     
    Bernie soon learns that he misunderstood much about his high school years—and now, Chet and Bernie are plunged into a dangerous case where the past isn’t dead and the future could be fatal.

    Bunny McGarry is back – and he’d really like a nice holiday. Somewhere with hot weather and cold drinks that come with little umbrellas for reasons he never understood. A certain nun has other ideas though and instead, he finds himself dispatched to London to find Sean Malone, a runaway teenager who doesn’t know his mother hasn’t got long left to live. The only leads Bunny has are a last-known address for the deadbeat dad Sean had gone in search of, and some letters the teenager had sent to his mum, one of which included a picture of him with the current heavyweight champion of the world. It quickly emerges that Sean is caught up in some very, nasty business and Bunny, out on his own and in a city he doesn’t know, or particularly like, is his only chance at survival. 
    Join Bunny on his latest adventure in the increasingly inaccurately titled, yet nevertheless, million-selling Dublin Trilogy.
