The Stranger Times, the winner of the 2023 British Fantasy Award for Best Audio Work, delves into a captivating world of mystery and intrigue. In this tale, Stella, a young woman enjoying her life as an almost student, is suddenly confronted with a bizarre and unexpected event: a man falls from the sky, leaving a massive hole in the pavement in front of her. The obvious question arises: how did he end up in the sky in the first place? This is where The Stranger Times come into play. However, this is not just a simple hunt for another story. Dark forces suspect Stella's involvement, and the only way she and her team can prove her innocence is to uncover the truth behind the mysterious incident. As they delve deeper into the investigation, they encounter a series of strange and unsettling events. Dodgy gear, disturbed graves, and a decommissioned rock star all play a role in this intricate puzzle.

Vincent Banecroft, the paper's editor, finds himself embroiled in his own problems. A tall, dark, and decidedly unappealing man dressed in a funeral-like attire has been sent to exact revenge on Banecroft for his sins. As he learns the details of his punishment, Banecroft realizes that being banished to a Hellscape for all eternity is not a desirable outcome. He possesses a pale Irish skin that burns easily in the sun, making the prospect of spending eternity in a fiery realm quite daunting.

In addition to these challenges, The Stranger Times faces territorial ghouls, homicidal felines, eternal gnomes, and a celebrity "Who's Who" that would put a royal wedding to shame. The team must navigate through a maze of treachery and danger as they attempt to unravel the mystery and clear Stella's name.

Relight My Fire is the fourth installment in the acclaimed and brilliantly funny Stranger Times series. This book continues to deliver the same level of humor, suspense, and adventure that has captivated readers worldwide. With its unique blend of fantasy, mystery, and humor, The Stranger Times series is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a thrilling and entertaining adventure.
