À propos de cet audio
Performed by Welcome to Night Vale podcast narrator Cecil Baldwin and special guests Dylan Marron, Retta, Thérèse Plummer, and Dan Bittner, with music by Disparition.
From the creators of the wildly popular Welcome to Night Vale podcast comes an imaginative mystery of appearances and disappearances that is also a poignant look at the ways in which we all struggle to find ourselves...no matter where we live.
"Hypnotic and darkly funny.... Belongs to a particular strain of American gothic that encompasses The Twilight Zone, Stephen King and Twin Peaks, with a bit of Tremors thrown in." (The Guardian)
Located in a nameless desert somewhere in the great American Southwest, Night Vale is a small town where ghosts, angels, aliens, and government conspiracies are all commonplace parts of everyday life. 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 holding a deerskin suitcase. Everything about him and his paper unsettles her, especially the fact that she can't seem to get the paper to leave her hand and that no one who meets this man can remember anything about him. Jackie is determined to uncover the mystery of King City and the man in the tan jacket before she herself unravels.
Night Vale PTA treasurer 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, when they were both teenagers. 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 are a fan of the show you will find nothing but grade A material, wonderful performances, and great characters. If Night Vale is not your favorite thing, but you still enjoy it you may find the novel's more linear, coherent, and focused narrative more to your liking.
The Story is intriguing, and well written, the performance is spot on and the world is as rich, and as riddled with the strange and unusual as it always is. Cannot recommend this book to Night Vale fans enough!
Esoteric, and Enrapturing

It's never scary, just oddly creepy in the best way possible. Masterfully Written and Narrated, this is a must have for your Halloween collection!

This book, in my opinion, was amazing. It had ne hooked from start to finish, and left me with thorough mental images of the happenings of what was going on through the story, as if the words warped from just sound to an genuine reality, almost touchable from the unknowable distance.
Having the actual voice of Nightvale, Cecil Baldwin (And the other character voices on this audio book), added a depth to the story that would be hard to capture any other way you would attempt to digest this read, and breathed life into the world within the book.
I may be biased, but I would still attempt to recommend this audio book and the book itself to people if I was asked to recommend a fiction. To those who have read this novel, I would recommend the audio book to enhance and enrich the story that they are already familiar with. It is worth the time, and the money, to listen to this audio book.
