The Sinister Mr. Corpse

Starts out really strong, gets a little bit meh for a bit then picks up again and stays pretty funny till the end. The humor is riduculous and childish at times but Stanley is a charming character and the Bonus Padding at the end had me chuckling and thinking that Strand himself is also a pretty dang charming person.

There some fatphobic comments by the main character (they're not a core thing nor a repeated thing though the book but they're there so if that's going to ruin it for you now you know). For the aces/sex-repulsed in the room: there's a near sex scene but it ends up not happening it's safe on that front
