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.

If you're not already a fan of Welcome to Night Vale however, I have no idea how you might respond to this. I'd recommend checking out the podcast and listening to a few episodes up front. There's a lot of abstract and absurdest humour that really drives these stories and if that's not your thing this would be a potentially difficult and disappointing purchase for you.
Cecil's narration is flawless and he has put in an excellent performance throughout the book and I think that the writers have done an excellent job of taking the small dose format of the podcasts and extending that into a much more long form story with a few interspersals of familiar community radio action.
A huge dose of Night Vale life
