There are Dark Forces at work in our world (and in Manchester in particular) and so thank God The Stranger Times is on hand to report them. A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but more often the weird) of modern life, it is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious ... A dark and hilarious escapist read for fans of Terry Pratchett.
