Story
Up until a few days ago, the worst thing Joseph had to deal with was mopping up vomit in the hospital he works at. Now he’s discovered that monsters exist, and he’s expected to mop those up, too. Joseph is a warlock, or so he’s told, yet he can barely pull off a convincing card trick, let alone magic away evil.

Once, there was magic in London, but when a monster made of hunger came to devour it all, the Uncanny were forced to abandon their home. And so they fled to Other London, a secret city adjacent to their own, and there they hid, barricaded and isolated from the rest of the world. For 200 years, the people of Other London have cowered behind closed doors. No one can get in, and no one can get out. Until, one day, the impossible happens: Someone from outside finds their way into the hidden city.

Remember that old line about how the only way out of the organization is in a pine box? Well, Rue Hollis spent 10 years thinking she had escaped the Black Hat Bureau, no coffin required. Then her former partner had to go and shatter the illusion by showing up on her doorstep with grim tidings.
Summary
Joseph Lake doesn’t know who he is or where he came from, and the answer might just be the death of him.
By day, Joseph scrubs toilets and fixes broken light fittings. By night, he looks into weird stuff: local hauntings, unexplained disappearances, and satanic cabals dancing naked around ancient stone circles. The usual.
The uncanny calls to him like a beacon, and he follows its signal wherever it leads, hoping that one day it will shine a light on who he really is. So far, the clues haven't added up to much, but now, a mad woman is stalking him, he’s tripping over dead bodies in the street, and he keeps having terrifying apocalyptic visions.
Can Joseph put the pieces together and figure out his identity? And if he does, will he be able to live with who he really is?
Mystery, scares, and fast-paced action collide in this thrilling urban fantasy series. Listen to Magic Eater now for a pause-resisting tale you cannot stop listening to!

“I hoped it was something nice and not at all deathy”
Honestly the most enjoyable book I’ve listened to all year; it had me grinning from start to finish!
It’s a brilliant blend of peril and idiocy! The world needs more people like Joseph and we all definitely need more books about him!
The humour is done so well; maintains the perfect level of darkness and (almost) slapstick comedy. I wish I had the skills to better highlight how good a listen it is!
Oh and let’s not forget the brilliant narration. Dave does an amazing job with the pacing, character voices, intensity and the skill he puts into the character humour is perfect. He makes you feel like your right there in the book with him.
Brilliant!
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

A wonderfully dark, whitty tale of horror and hair
Disclaimer: I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is my second foray into the Uncanny Kingdom and the second time I've been blown away by the adventure I've just been on.
Joseph Lake has no idea who he is as, 10 years ago, he awoke naked next to a lake in the lake district. Since then he has sought to find out who he is but thus far he hasn't had any success and so spends his time working as a janitor for a local hospital. From out of this simple beginning comes a tale of monsters, death, horror and an anthropomorphism fox (!?) as Joshua strives to remember who he is while trying to protect those around him from.
What begins as a search for missing cats soon balloons into a story chocked full of love, plot twists, car chases, horrific monsters and great hair.
Beautifully paced with a great balance of horror and mystery, interspersed with hilarious comedy and perfectly narrated by the wonderful Dave Jones this book was an absolute joy and I spent every free moment striving to hear what was going to happen just around the corner.
With regards to the humour, as with the last Uncanny Kingdom I read (Necessary Evil) the comedy is so natural and organic in how it's included it never breaks the drama, which is something that rarely works outside of books such as Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.
Again I can't sing the praises of this book any higher and to do so would result in me spoiling so many of the fantastic moments that occur so I will close in saying that you need to hop right in and experience this for yourself.

Mystery with a twist
Another hit in the Uncanny Kingdom.
Magic Eater has more humor than darkness, but the mystery is still there and this time we meet Joseph Lake, he is kinda stupid, but in a good fun way. And Eva made me laugh out loud so many times. I must say I adore this character and his story is wonderfully written. The pace is fast and the twist at the end broke my heart, I did not see it coming. There isn't a lot going on, but the authors have a way to tell the story that never let you bored.
Mr. Dave Jones has a variety of voices, his skills as a voice actor is incredible.

Stott does it again!
Story:
I loved this MC from the very first moment I heard him. Joseph Lake is funny, witty, naive, childlike, caring and totally obliviously the uncanny. As the story unfolded to reveal secret after secret I became completely invested in his world and the roles his friends and acquaintances played in it.
I found myself laughing out loud quite a few times (and received many strange looks from others for it) at things Joseph said or did.
And that fox...no spoilers... but, “All hail the Magic Eater!” This just cracks me up!
M. V. Stott has did it yet again. Magic, mixed with canny problems and a large side order of the Uncanny Kingdom.
I have to say, out of all the Uncanny Kingdom Audiobooks I have had the privilege of listening to, this is by far my favourite.
Excellent story telling!
Narration:
Dave Jones was the perfect fit for the role of Joseph Lake. The accent, the emotion, the tone...it all painted a mental picture of just exactly who he was.
I have nothing negative to say about this narrator, quite the opposite. He was spot on with his voice acting and it was apparent he was enjoying the story just as much as I was.
Excellent!

Narrator: Dave Jones
In all honesty although I enjoyed this story, for me it did seem to take its time revealing, (or starting to reveal) Just who Joesph Lake is or was! It’s entertaining and fun and will have you hooked in not wanting to miss any detail.
Joesph Lake is a likeable character and Eva Familiar is one of a kind lol, the ending will definitely leave you reaching for the next book because you will absolutely want to know what led to that revelation.

Different
Well, this is the first audiobook I have ever listened to. So I don’t know wether it was the book, the narrator or what. But I did not go for this like the other Uncanny books. Firstly like some of the other reviewers I thought it was a bit silly and being honest I didn’t think the narrator was the right choice. Still wouldn’t mind mind trying another audiobook to see the difference. Recommended.

Perfect combo - action, magic, monsters and snark!
Magic Eater is the first book in The Dark Lake series from Uncanny Kingdom and it certainly set a high bar in terms of storyline (which is outrageously fun) and characters (using the term colorful is beyond inadequate). It is set in the town of Keswick in the Lake District (northwest England) which is the proud home of The Cumberland Pencil Museum (for those who wish to know the complete history of the venerable pencil). While that sounds like a picturesque and charming English countryside setting, unfortunately for the main character, Joseph Lake, there are also some monstrous new denizens making their presence felt by leaving a trail of bloody corpses in their wake. Joe is a hospital janitor/handyman who is still grappling with the fact that something happened to him ten years ago which left him with no memories of his life prior to being found face down, naked except for a single sock, near a lake. Joe, much to his dismay, discovers he harbors some mystifying magical powers. This discovery sets him on the path to becoming a reluctant and somewhat unlikely hero in this fast-paced, action-filled, frequently hilarious quest to expose the horrifying plans of the newly arrived death-dealing monsters while, hopefully, discovering some portion of his lost past.
The audiobook version of this story was superbly narrated by Dave Jones who brought this delightful urban fantasy to life. The pace, the tone, the various characters, and the humor were brilliantly represented in his reading.
Bottom line: this is an awesome urban fantasy filled with snark, sarcasm and wit that made me laugh out loud, kept me entertained, and kindled a fervent desire to tag along on more adventures with Joe and his new posse of paranormal peacekeepers.
While I did purchase a copy of this book, I was given a copy of the audiobook by the author and I am voluntarily offering my honest and unbiased review.

Excellent New Series Beginning
Magic Eater by M.V. Stott is Book 1 in the Dark Lakes series. Joseph (Joe) Lake, MC, works as a janitor at Carlisle Hospital. For the past 10 years he has been trying to find out who he is because when he awoke on the shore of the lake wearing only one sock he had no memory and some unusual magic abilities he doesn't know how to use. For some unknown reason, Joe likes to chase monsters so takes small jobs. This is a well written, fast paced, action filled, page turning, snarky, and at times funny thrill ride adventure -- a new entry in the Uncanny Kingdom. Joe and his cast of colorful characters (Eva/homeless woman, the fox, soul vampires are interesting and wonderful. Looking forward to the next book in the series. The audiobook is excellently narrated by Dave Jones. His voice was clear, well paced, easy to listen to, and brought the story to life. Received an ARC of the audiobook and this is my voluntary review.

okay plot, terrible main character
Did she have to make the main character a complete idiot? He does nothing but bumble around, saying the most idiotic things, constantly. At first, it was funny, then it just got ridiculous to down right annoying.
