About this listen

Night Vale is a small desert town where all the conspiracy theories you've ever heard are actually true. It is here that the lives of two women, with two mysteries, will converge.

Nineteen-year-old Night Vale pawn shop owner Jackie Fierro is given a paper marked 'KING CITY' by a mysterious man in a tan jacket. She can't seem to get the paper to leave her hand, and no one who meets this man can remember anything about him. Jackie is determined to uncover the mystery of King City before she herself unravels.

Diane Crayton's son, Josh, is moody and also a shape-shifter. And lately Diane's started to see her son's father everywhere she goes, looking the same as the day he left years earlier. Josh, looking different every time Diane sees him, shows a stronger and stronger interest in his estranged father, leading to a disaster Diane can see coming, even as she is helpless to prevent it.

Diane's search to reconnect with her son and Jackie's search for her former routine life collide as they find themselves coming back to two words: 'KING CITY'. It is King City that holds the key to both of their mysteries and their futures...if they can ever find it.

Exactly the quality I expect from the Welcome to Nightvale team. Not having to brave the library for it is an added bonus

The narration by Cecil Baldwin was as enigmatic and entertaining you'd expect if you listen to the podcast. The writing itself was typically WtNV-levels of bizarre, funny, and yet strangely reassuring. The absurdity of Night Vale blended beautifully with truly touching and vivid storytelling. The characters are tangible, fully developed, and so insightful that I feel like I know them. Their interactions are so masterfully constructed that even when scenes involve all kinds of Night Vale-esque weirdness and horror, they also seem real and familiar as if these are interactions I'd have every day. This book was both exciting, witty, mysterious, and comforting in all kinds ways, and I actually feel wiser for listening to it. And now, onto It Devours! :D

superbly strange <3
