Summary

From the authors of the New York Times best-selling novel Welcome to Night Vale and the number one podcast of the same name comes a mystery exploring the intersections of faith and science, the growing relationship between two young people who want desperately to trust each other and the terrifying, toothy power of the Smiling God.

Nilanjana Sikdar is an outsider to the town of Night Vale. Working for Carlos, the town's top scientist, she relies on fact and logic as her guiding principles. But all of that is put into question when Carlos gives her a special assignment investigating a mysterious rumbling in the desert wasteland outside of town.

This investigation leads her to the Joyous Congregation of the Smiling God, and to Darryl, one of its most committed members. Caught between her beliefs in the ultimate power of science and her growing attraction to Darryl, she begins to suspect the Congregation is planning a ritual that could threaten the lives of everyone in town. Nilanjana and Darryl must search for common ground between their very different world views as they are faced with the Congregation's darkest and most terrible secret.

I love the Nightvale podcast and this book is no exception. Enjoyed every second. Cecil Baldwin is floorless as always.

Brilliant from start to finish

This was a really tender, pensive piece of work. strangely, I feel like I understand reality more having read a very surreal book. Cecil narrates it perfectly, the writing is as inspired and touching as ever, and the story itself is typically strange, yet seemed more touching than outright funny as the first book had been. This isn't a bad thing though. It was perfect. <3

As expected, & yet, it still exceeds expectations

Loved it. Great writing as always and the the delivery was superb. Plot twists were apparent, but It's the journey that you listen for.

10/10! Would Devour Again!

Just as Welcome to Night Vale I chose the audio book version of It Devours. Personally I think I enjoyed the story more as an audio book since it felt like an extended version of the podcasts.

It Devours (just as the predecessor) is a story for fans of the podcast. Without an understanding of Night Vale and it’s wonderful quirks I think readers are going to struggle. However, unlike the first book It Devours is more focused on a singular story. It is easier to follow so would probably be the better one to pick up if you were brand new to Night Vale.

I enjoyed the characters and story more in It Devours. There was still plenty of overlap with established Night Vale residents and you see how the main characters from the previous book have moved on, so thats nice - but I preferred that this time I got to know new characters and went on the journey with them.

Better as audiobook
