5.0
This is my new favourite book - not just of 2020. It is absolutely brilliant. Funny characters, dark humour, great plotting and fantastic writing it has been a breath of fresh air to end the year on. I got access to read this via Pigeonhole, but have pre-ordered the hard copy as I know I’ll want to read it again and again.
The story is part fantasy, part mystery. Set in a newspaper which reports on the weird things people believe in (haunted toilets, alien abductions, that kind of thing), the editorial staff are about to discover that there are far weirder things out there.
If you like the humour of Terry Pratchett and Christopher Brookmyre you’ll love this. Heartily recommended.
