Hell's Belles by Paul Magrs
As everyone knows, Whitby is the gateway to hell and other eldritch dimensions, a spook-ridden town on the edge of the icy North Sea where anything can happen and frequently does – at least in this series of fabulously crazy novels featuring Brenda and Effie, the town's self-appointed guardians. This adventure has the bride-of-Frankenstein Brenda and white witch Effie battling against the Brethren, an evil cult bent on opening the maw of hell. When a film company comes to town to remake a cursed sixties horror classic Get Thee Inside Me, Satan, our engaging and unlikely heroines find themselves up against possessed film star Karla Sorensen, the golem of Victor Frankenstein, and a pair of old dears from the local Save the Kiddies shop. The fourth book in the series, it's the longest and by far the best, as Magrs weaves the backstories of his characters into the ingenious, pell-mell narrative. He carries it off with dollops of camp panache and obvious affection for his likeable cast of characters.
Well! I know I did not say before but I asked and he said ok. Another book review is coming out tomorrow or round about then.
I hope you liked that!
