Summary

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.

Having been a massive fan of the podcast for a while I was apprehensive at first at how the world of Night Vale could be translated into a novel, turns out my concerns weren't justified!

To those who do listen to the podcast it's fantastic to get a different perspective on this strange conspiracy filled town where time does not work. Where in the podcast you are always seeing the city from Cecil's point of view, in the novel you actually feel part of it, seeing people go through their everyday lives and not always questioning the strange things happening around them.

For those new to the world of Night Vale it will be a 'culture shock' at first to hear some of the bizarre things that are described in the novel, but you'll soon feel at home.

It's incredibly witty, bizarre but also had a lot of heart, which is what Night Vale seems to be about at the end of the day. Read it/listen to it now!

Bonkers, Scary and incredibly witty

A perfect splash to widen the pool of Nightvale stories. It gives you everything the podcast delivers but at a completely accessible level for those not already listening. A great story expanding on many of the denizens of that undefinable town in the middle of nowhere. A good reward and starting point, highly recommended.

Delightfully creepy home away from home
