The Stranger Times - winner of the 2023 British Fantasy Award for Best Audio Work!

Love 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.

How does Caimh consistently write books this entertaining? He never misses. If writing side characters was an Olympic sport he'd be the Michael Phelps of whatever they decided to name it.

definitely witchcraft

With Hannah and Vincent split on their own story lines the energy was very different, especially at the start. I found that it felt more like the first two books when I turned the speed up to 120%, as if the recording was posted at a slower speed than the earlier titles.

It was good to see the vulnerability behind Vincent's bluster, and learn more about Stella. The plot borrowed a seed from Harry Potter, but took it in an amazing, and creepy direction.

Not much publishing going on with all that mayhem

Over, as always, too soon. Fascinating expansion on the characters we know and love. Plus Gordon 🤎

Fabulous

I liked book 2 as much as book 1. It’s surprisingly complex for such a funny book. I laughed so hard at the AR15 getting on the Supreme Court that I nearly drove off the road. Full of gems. Awesome narrator.

Still fresh and funny

I’m only sad because I devoured it so fast. Hoped it would last me more than a couple days.

Loved it!

I loved the first two books and was extremely excited for it to come out. I found it notably less “funny” than the other two books but thought the storyline and emerging characters made up for that. That being said, there are still plenty of moments that had me laughing out loud. Can’t wait for the next one.

3rd in the series ultimately does not disappoint

I have been mildly obsessed with these books and the other fabulous selection by Caimh McDonald (CK McDonald). The narrator should win awards for his performance (even with his butchering of West African accents). This is a light, fun and entertaining story.

I can’t get enough of the Stranger Times

I enjoyed many things about this story. I especially enjoyed wondering about the influences the author might have been drawing from.

Clever and very funny

Few books, combine, satire, droll, humor social commentary, vibrant characters, and inventive plots. Love the narrator, love the author, love the series, and can’t wait for the next one!
