I've read [The Stranger Times](https://thestrangertimes.co.uk/) series by Caimh McDonnell. It's a humourous but thrilling dark-fantasy series set in Manchester, centered around a newspaper featuring the weird and unexplained. It's reminiscent of 'Good Omens', the collaboration between Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman in both it's style and setting, particularly the fantastical world interspersed with the ordinary and yet invisible to most.

I can't wait to read the 5th and 6th books of the series which have [already been commissioned](https://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2023/10/03/54271/caimh_mcdonnell_signs_up_to_three_more_stranger_times_novels).
