Stranger Than Truth is a 1946 mystery novel by the American writer Vera Caspary.[1] The character of publisher Noble Barnes was inspired by that of Bernarr Macfadden and his Macfadden Publications. Caspary had briefly worked on one of Macfadden's magazines in the 1920s, and had encountered Macfadden's daughter Eleanor who she used as the basis of a character of the same name in her novel.[2] It uses multiple points of view as several different characters narrate the story in the first person. Unlike her previous two works, Laura and Bedelia, it was not adapted into a film.
