About this listen

Dive into the wondrous world of The Stranger Times with this carefully curated selection of short stories from C.K. McDonnell. Drawn from the award-winning The Stranger Times podcast, they are collected in print for the first time, along with the new novella ‘The Raven’. Experience the magical underworld of Manchester (and beyond) with stories featuring lovelorn trolls, blood-thirsty books and a constipated dog who may’ve accidentally consumed a portal to another dimension. Featuring McDonnell’s trademark blend of black humour, outlandish ideas and expertly realised characters, this collection is perfect for first time readers and existing fans keen to learn more about the world he has created.
