Stranger Things 5 Will Have Less New Characters, Say Duffer Bros

Image: NetflixIf there’s one thing that can generally be agreed on about Stranger Things, it’s that the cast is so dang big.

Juggling so many characters isn’t an easy task, particularly when so many of them suddenly become fan favorites

A Hunger by Ross Raisin review – his most ambitious novel yet | Fiction

Ross Raisin’s career began explosively when his debut, God’s Own Country – the story of a disturbed youth terrorising a community, in the tradition of William Trevor’s The Children of Dynmouth and Niall Griffiths’s Sheepshagger – won him nine prize shortlistings and the Sunday Times young writer of the year award.

His third novel, A Natural, however, was one of the best books of…
