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 . . . .
