In the nicest possible way, of course.' TOM HOLT, author of The Portable Door and The Eight Reindeers of Christmas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is beginning to look a lot like Christmas . . . \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing demonically possessed Santas, blood-thirsty books and the ghost of a legendary nightclub, it's beginning to look a lot like a Christmas apocalypse . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRing the Bells is the fifth book in the award-winning, critically acclaimed and laugh-out-loud funny The Stranger Times series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reviewers loved Relight My Fire: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'An absolute riot of a read.' DAILY EXPRESS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Laugh-out-loud funny and full of colourful characters.' DAILY MIRROR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'It's no secret that here at SciFi Towers we're massive fans of the Stranger Times series by C. K. McDonnell.' SciFiNOW\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'I loved the dry and embedded humour of this book, it's the stuff of life . . . the whole thing is great fun.'
