Ring the Bells: (The Stranger Times 5)

‘Fiendishly clever and monstrously funny, C K McDonnell's latest will steal your soul and eat your brain. In the nicest possible way, of course’ TOM HOLT

'Exciting, funny and very occasionally, absolutely heartbreaking' JODI TAYLOR

Start decking the halls with holly, your next laugh-out-loud funny festive must-read - the new Stranger Times novel - is here . . .

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

And 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 isn’t unprecedented, it is at least noteworthy. And this is no ordinary book-club-triple-murder either, as it seems to involve a librarian possessed by a chaotic entity who has broken through from another dimension and is hellbent on vengeance.

But who would want to summon such a thing? And - importantly - how is anyone going to be able to send it back?

As if that wasn’t enough to be going on with, there's a shocking revelation about a member of The Stranger Times team’s past. It will brings family together - which is, of course, part of what Christmas is all about - but not in a way that’s ever going to make it into a Hallmark movie.

Add demonically-possessed Santas, blood-thirsty books and the ghost of a legendary nightclub into the mix and it’s looking like an apocalyptic Christmas for the good folk at The Stranger Times . . . . .
