And as for the assistant editor . . . well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who s got problems of her own. When tragedy strikes in her first week on the job The Stranger Times is forced to do some serious investigating. What they discover leads to a shocking realisation: some of the stories they d previously dismissed as nonsense are in fact terrifyingly real. Soon they come face-to-face with darker forces than they could ever have imagined. The Stranger Times is the first novel from C.K. McDonnell, the pen name of Caimh McDonnell. It combines his distinctive dark wit with his love of the weird and wonderful to deliver a joyous celebration of how truth really can be stranger than fiction.

Itâ ™s beginning to look a lot like Christmas . . . For most people, that means a time of celebration, relaxation and inebriation, but not for the staff of The Stranger Times. While a book club meeting ending in a triple murder isnâ ™t unprecedented, it is at least noteworthy. It quickly emerges that this is no ordinary book-club-triple-murder either, as it features a librarian possessed by a chaotic entity who has broken through from another dimension and is hellbent on vengeance. Heâ ™s made a list, but heâ ™s not checking it twice as the whole of humanity is on it. Who would want to summon such a thing? And how is anyone going to be able to send it back?As if that wasnâ ™t enough to be dealing with, a shocking revelation about a member of The Stranger Times teamâ ™s past brings family together, but not in a way thatâ ™s ever going to make it into a Hallmark movie.Featuring demonically possessed Santas, blood-thirsty books and the ghost of a legendary nightclub, itâ ™s beginning to look a lot like a Christmas apocalypse . . . Ring the Bells is the fifth book in the award-winning, critically acclaimed and laugh-out-loud funny The Stranger Times series.The reviewers loved Relight My Fire: McDonnell s world is transgressively hilarious, grimly banal and beguilingly warm. Of course there s a story that the intrepid journalists of The Stranger Times have to tease out: grave-robbing, cryogenics, a very angry witch, and a washed-up indie legend looking for a lost album, but the real joy lies in the pitfalls and pratfalls of getting there. DAILY MAIL An absolute riot of a read. DAILY EXPRESS Laugh-out-loud funny and full of colourful characters. DAILY MIRROR Itâ ™s no secret that here at SciFi Towers weâ ™re massive fans of the Stranger Times series by C. K. McDonnell. SciFiNOW I loved the dry and embedded humour of this book, it s the stuff of life . . . the whole thing is great fun. SFCROSWNEST Relight My Fire is perhaps the best since the original. STARBURST

The Stranger Times - winner of the 2023 British Fantasy Award for Best Audio Work!Some comebacks can be murder . . .Stella is enjoying life as an almost student, or at least she is until a man falls from the sky right in front of her, leaving a big old hole in the pavement for Manchester Council to fill. The obvious question of how he ended up in the sky in the first place has no obvious answers, which is where The Stranger Times come in.But this isn t just the hunt for another story. Dark powers think Stella might have been involved and the only way she and the team can prove her innocence is to find out what the hell is really going on. And what have dodgy gear, disturbed graves and a decommissioned rock star got to do with all this?Vincent Banecroft has problems of his own in the form of a tall, dark but-definitely-not-handsome man dressed like a funeral who has been sent to make the paper s editor atone for his sins. Once he finds out exactly what that entails, Banecroft is not keen. Being banished to a Hellscape for all eternity looks like being no fun at all, not least because he has that pale Irish skin that burns really easily . . .All that plus territorial ghouls, homicidal felines, eternal (and seemingly unstoppable) gnomes and a celebrity Who s Who that d put a royal wedding to shame, and you re looking at a wild few days for The Stranger Times.Relight My Fire is the fourth book in the acclaimed and brilliantly funny Stranger Times series.Readers love Relight My Fire! I have had a hoot reading this whole series! ***** Do yourself a favour, and go and read The Stranger Times books, because they’re really THAT good. ***** I just cannot rave enough about how much I love these books. *****

Vampires do not exist. Everyone knows this. So it s particularly annoying when they start popping up around Manchester . . . Nobody is pleased about it. Not the Founders, the secret organisation for whom vampires were invented as an allegory, nor the Folk, the magical people hidden in plain sight who only want a quiet life. And definitely not the people of Manchester, because there is nothing more irksome than being murdered by an allegory run amok. Somebody needs to sort this out fast before all Hell really breaks loose - step forward the staff of The Stranger Times. It s not like they don t have enough to be dealing with. Assistant Editor Hannah has come back from getting messily divorced to discover that someone is trying to kidnap a member of their staff and while editor Vincent Banecroft would be delighted to see the back of any of his team, he doesn t like people touching his stuff - it s the principle of the thing. Throw in a precarious plumbing situation, gambling debts, an entirely new way of swearing, and a certain detective inspector with what could be kindly referred to as a lot of baggage and it all adds up to another hectic week in the life of the newspaper committed to reporting the truth that nobody else will touch. This Charming Man is the second book in the critically acclaimed The Stranger Times series. Wonderfully dark, extremely funny, and evocative of Terry Pratchett - which I think is the highest compliment I can give. ADAM KAY, about The Stranger Times . . . A gag-filled romp . . . in the spirit of Terry Pratchett. The Times Great characters, a jet-propelled plot, and a winning premise. Guardian Fresh and genuinely funny. SFX

Brilliant and bananas . . . we loved it MAGIC RADIO â ˜Wonderfully dark, extremely funnyâ ™ ADAM KAY, on The Stranger TimesLove can be a truly terrible thing. Marriages are tricky at the best of times, especially when one of you is dead. Vincent Banecroft, the irascible editor of The Stranger Times, has never believed his wife died despite emphatic evidence to the contrary. Now, against all odds, it seems he may actually be proved right; but what lengths will he go to in an attempt to rescue her?With Banecroft distracted, the shock resignation of assistant editor, Hannah Willis, couldn t have come at a worse time. It speaks volumes that her decision to reconcile with her philandering ex-husband is only marginally less surprising than Banecroft and his wife getting back together. In this time of crisis, is her decision to swan off to a fancy new-age retreat run by a celebrity cult really the best thing for anyone?As if that wasn t enough, one of the paper s ex-columnists has disappeared, a particularly impressive trick seeing as he never existed in the first place. Floating statues, hijacked ghosts, homicidal cherubs, irate starlings, Reliant Robins and quite possibly several deeply sinister conspiracies; all-in-all, a typical week for the staff of The Stranger Times.

⠜Three cheers for this splendid, surprising, inspiring book!⠝⠔Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an OctopusAlone in a vast wildlife refuge with little direction and no experience, an American ornithology student found herself responsible for a project of historical importance ⠓ to bring the mighty Bald Eagle back from the brink of extinction.Tina Morris was one of the first women to spearhead a raptor reintroduction program, and in Return to the Sky, she shares her remarkable story that is as much about the human spirit as it is about birds of prey.In the spring of 1975, on the eve of America⠙s Bicentennial, Tina was selected to reintroduce Bald Eagles into New York State in the hope that the species could eventually repopulate eastern North America. Young and female in a male-dominated field, Tina was handed an assignment to rehabilitate a population that had been devastated by the effects of DDT. The challenges were prodigious, and with no model to refer to, she spent two years playing ⠘mother⠙ to seven eaglets at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in New York. Driven by her passion, she discovered unknown reserves of patience, determination and grit, and her own path to self-discovery and confidence-building was inextricably linked to the survival of the species she was chosen to protect.At a time when the mass extinction of bird species is a critical global topic, Return to the Sky reminds us how, with a mix of common sense, resilience and resolve, humans can be effective stewards of the natural world.
