A filmic romp with great characters, a jet-propelled plot, and a
winning premise.
*GUARDIAN*
I tore through The Stranger Times. Like an entertaining collision
between the worlds of Mick Herron and Charlie Stross, it's a novel
that proves ancient eldritch horror is no match for old-school
journalism.
*CHRISTOPHER BROOKMYRE, bestselling author of Fallen Angel*
There are weird happenings in Manchester; good job the drunk and
dysfunctional journalists of The Stranger Times, a newspaper
dedicated to paranormal and the unexplained, are on hand . . .
terrific, easygoing fun.
*THE TIMES*
I loved this . . . great premise - great story - great characters .
. . hugely enjoyable.
*JODI TAYLOR, bestselling author of The Chronicles of St Mary's
series*
A cracker . . . brace yourself for murder, monsters, mesmerism -
and merriment. Wonderfully wacky.
*SAGA*
Darkly witty.
*i-NEWSPAPER*
Darkly comedic . . . alternating between sinister and silly,
McDonnell's writing is intelligently witty.
*THE HERALD*
Fresh and genuinely funny.
*SFX magazine*
The one-liners zing, the dialogue is a tennis match of witty
banter.
*FINANCIAL TIMES*
