书籍简介

一部令人上瘾、极度黑暗、令人捧腹大笑的都市奇幻小说，里面有可爱、神奇的人物、邪恶的生物和奇怪的事情！

“精彩绝伦……我们喜欢它”MAGIC RADIO

“极度黑暗，极其有趣”ADAM KAY，《陌生人时空》

爱情可能是一件非常可怕的事情。

婚姻在好的时候也很棘手，尤其是当你们其中一人去世的时候。

《陌生人时空》脾气暴躁的编辑 Vincent Banecroft 从未相信他的妻子死了，尽管有确凿的证据证明事实并非如此。现在，尽管困难重重，似乎他可能真的被证明是对的；但他会竭尽全力去拯救她吗？

由于 Banecroft 分心，助理编辑 Hannah Willis 的突然辞职来得再不是时候了。她决定与花心的前夫和好，这比班克罗夫特和他的妻子复合稍微不那么令人惊讶，这足以说明一切。在危机时刻，她决定去一个由名人崇拜组织经营的豪华新时代度假胜地，真的是对任何人都好的选择吗？

似乎这还不够，该报的一位前专栏作家消失了，这是一个特别令人印象深刻的把戏，因为他根本就不存在。

漂浮的雕像、被劫持的鬼魂、行凶的天使、愤怒的椋鸟、依赖的罗宾斯，很可能还有几个非常险恶的阴谋；总而言之，这是《陌生人时报》员工典型的一周。

An addictive, wonderfully dark and laugh-out-loud funny urban fantasy novel with loveable, magical characters, sinister beings and strange goings-on!

'Brilliant and bananas . . . we loved it' MAGIC RADIO

‘Wonderfully dark, extremely funny’ ADAM KAY, on The Stranger Times

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, 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.
