Forlagsbeskrivelse af The Stranger Times (The Stranger Times 1) af C. K. McDonnell

If you''re an American Gods binge-watcher, addicted to Ben Aaronovitch, or devoted to Discworld and Terry Pratchett, this smart, knowing, outrageously fun (and occasionally rather rude) supernatural romp by an award-winning stand-up comic is a must-read . . There are Dark Forces at work in our world (and in Manchester in particular) and so thank God The Stranger Times is on hand to report them. A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but more often the weird) of modern life, it is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable . . At least thats their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and -mouthed husk of a man who thinks little (and believes less) of the publication he edits, while his staff are a ragtag group of wastrels and misfits, each with their own secrets to hide and axes to grind. 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 her own set of problems. Its when tragedy strikes in Hannahs first week on the job that The Stranger Times is forced to do some serious, proper, actual investigative journalism. What they discover leads them to a shocking realization: that some of the stories theyd previously dismissed as nonsense are in fact terrifyingly, gruesomely real. Soon they come face-to-face with darker foes than they could ever have imagined. Its one thing reporting on the unexplained and paranormal but its quite another being dragged into the battle between the forces of Good and Evil . .
