A tale of an inn with good music, tasty food, strong beer … and inadvertent necromancy. Travel is hard work and, for the Fiddler named Cal, any stop at an inn is a place to perform, to share the songs and music he has loved and, perhaps more importantly, use those in exchange for a warm bed, good food, free drinks, and maybe some extra coin. However, the roads we travel are roads that have existed long before we set foot on them and, at the crossroads where Cal finds the Inn of the Seven Stars, he encounters an demonstration of inadvertent necromancy. To put matters to rest, an immortal must be queried, an inquisition must be stopped, and an inn must be saved. But not before he finishes his beer in front of him.

"I don't consider myself a historian - - I'm a dairy farmer on a farm one mile from Kimberton ..." starts this narrative by Clyde Scheib, who devised a historical account, over a lifetime, of the landmarks and events closest to his house in rural Pennsylvania. The nearby village of Kimberton was one of the stops on the Underground Railroad where locals, including Emmor Kimber and John Vickers, shielded fugitive slaves on the road to the north. In the center of the village is the 18th century Kimberton Inn (1796) and the Sign of the Bear Tavern that has sheltered drovers and stage coach passengers along their travels. George Washington's troops marched through the village in 1777 after the Battle of the Brandywine. Looking out his window and across a field, the author sees remnants of the Sowbelly Railroad, a nickname for the DL&R line, that struggled to aid industrial growth in the mid to late 1800's. Taking center stage of this historical narrative is a single road, West Seven Stars, where the author has lived his entire life. The Kennedy Covered Bridge (1856) has provided passage over the French Creek for over 150 years and has survived man's intrusions. Next to the bridge is the Rudolf Steiner influenced Kimberton Farms, which became the Kimberton Waldorf School. The biodynamic Seven Stars Yogurt Farm and historian Estelle Cremers farm near the historic Seven Stars Inn (1754) completes "the end of the road." Close by is the historic Parker Ford village that thrived with the Gerard Canal segment of the Schuylkill River Canal. Horse drawn boats pulled next to the canal on a towpath, with locks allowing boats to pass to another level and aqueducts crossing creeks; all part of the transportation revolution between 1815 -1890. Travelers stopped at Parker's Tavern (1766) to rest, either off a boat on the canal or a horse and wagon en-route to Philadelphia. At Parker Ford, George Washington lead the Continental Army across the Schuylkill River in the fight against the British (1777). Down the road, the author attended Hickory Grove one room schoolhouse, where the teacher taught all grades and boarded with the families during the school year. The Scheib Genealogy shows the family lineage and connections with Brownback and Swinehart families; all with long local lineages. Also, the Scheib Genealogy shows the German ancestral village and Swiss heritage. The creation of the nearby Revolutionary Soldiers Cemetery was a preservation effort to the memory of twenty-two fallen soldiers in the Revolutionary War, spearheaded by the author. The presentation of these storylines in close proximity to his house, shows Clyde Scheib's approach to preserving local history in rural Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Download The Jewel of Seven Stars Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Jewel of Seven Stars (1903) is a novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. Written during a period of increased interest in Egyptology across Europe, The Jewel of Seven Stars helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic horror’s reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth century. In the middle of the night, a young lawyer is roused from sleep by Margaret Trelawny. At her urgent request, he accompanies her to the house of her father, Abel Trelawny, a world-renowned Egyptologist. There, Ross discovers the archaeologist unconscious and in a trance-like state on the floor of his bedroom, surrounded by strange and horrifying artifacts. After reading a note left by Trelawny instructing them not to wake him, the group takes turns watching over the injured man. Several nights later, a man arrives who reveals himself to be Eugene Corbeck, a colleague of Trelawny’s who has only recently returned from Egypt. He shares with them the story of their discovery years before of Queen Tera’s tomb. By taking the sarcophagus, the pair unlocked an ancient curse, and have since been struggling to fulfill the prophesy recorded on the wall of the tomb—the resurrection of the Queen. The Jewel of Seven Stars demonstrates not only Stoker’s detailed research of contemporary Egyptology, but an undeniable mastery of horror. Blending nineteenth-century Gothic themes with twentieth-century concerns regarding the legacy of British imperialism, Stoker’s novel is an artifact itself, and a highly entertaining one at that. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Bram Stoker’s The Jewel of Seven Stars is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.

Serafina and Braeden make an epic return in the hotly anticipated fourth installment of Robert Beatty's #1 New York Times best-selling series. Serafina, the Guardian of Biltmore Estate, has won battle after battle against the dark forces encroaching on her home. Now, tranquility has returned to Biltmore. Serafina doesn’t trust it. She patrols the grounds night and day, hardly sleeping, uncertain of her place after her best friend Braeden Vanderbilt's departure for boarding school in New York. When Mr. Vanderbilt, the kind master of Biltmore, asks Serafina to move upstairs into one of the house's grandest rooms, she's sure it's to keep an eye on the guests who have arrived for the estate's annual hunt. But as Serafina investigates, she becomes more and more unsettled by what Biltmore has become—a place haunted by nameless terrors where no dark corridor is safe. Even worse, she begins to doubt her own senses. Is Braeden really hundreds of miles away, or did he return to Biltmore for one strange night before vanishing? Is the bond between them truly broken or is it stronger than ever? Then Serafina witnesses a crime that turns her world upside down. How can all that once seemed good and worthy of protection now be evil? And how can she guard those around her when she can't even be sure of the truth of her own heart?

Download Bardstown Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A visitor to Bardstown today can view as many as 300 buildings listed on the National Register and marvel at their age and condition, but the original state of many of these landmarks has long since been altered or forgotten. Fire destroyed many buildings during the late 1800s, and commercial progress in the 1900s prompted the demolition of more than 100 of the area's homes and businesses. In this remarkable new volume, the search of public and private collections for photos of local landmarks and events has resulted in the lost puzzle pieces needed to complete the history of Bardstown's physical heritage. In 190 rare photographs, Bardstown reveals the people and places who have contributed to its growth and gives readers the opportunity to witness the changes that have occurred throughout the history of this close-knit, Southern community. Images in this collection include recently discovered photographs of the tragic Shepherdsville Train Wreck of 1917; the effects of Prohibition on a community with 12 distilleries; the changing faces of My Old Kentucky Home (the inspiration for Kentucky's state song); and unique views of the fires that destroyed Heaven Hill Distillery and the Talbott Tavern.

Download The City Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The City is ancient, layers upon layers. Once a thriving metropolis, it sprawled beyond its bounds, inciting endless wars and creating a barren wasteland of what was once green and productive. In the center of the City lives the emperor, a man in his prime though he should be very old. Some grimly speculate that he is no longer human, if he ever was. A small number have come to the desperate conclusion that the only way to stop the war is to end the emperor’s unnaturally long life. From the mazelike sewers below the City to the blood-soaked fields of battle, the rebels pin their hopes on one man—Shuskara. The emperor’s former general, he was betrayed long ago and is believed to be dead. But he has survived, hiding from his immortal foe. The time has come for him to engage in one final battle to free the City from the creature who dwells at its heart, pulling the strings that keep the land drenched in gore.
