It"™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 isn"™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. He"™s made a list, but he"™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 wasn"™t enough to be dealing with, a shocking revelation about a member of The Stranger Times team"™s past brings family together, but not in a way that"™s ever going to make it into a Hallmark movie. Featuring demonically possessed Santas, blood-thirsty books and the ghost of a legendary nightclub, it"™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 ''It"™s no secret that here at SciFi Towers we"™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.
