Welcome to Night Vale proved so popular as a podcast that, in 2015, Fink and Cranor publisheda book set in the same strange world. The book follows two women investigating two seemingly separate mysteries. Jackie Fierro, 19, runs the local pawn shopand follows her own routine. One day, a curious man in a tan jacketshows up. He gives her a piece of paper with just two words on it—“King City.” The man then disappears. No matter whom Jackie asks, no one else seems to have seen the man. In a town of ghosts, monsters, and angels, this might be the strangest thing yet.
Meanwhile, Diane Crayton has her own problem—a teenage son who can change his form at will, sometimes even into animals! What’s more, the boy’s father has shown up again, looking exactly as he did the day he left several years ago.
Jackie’s search for the man in the tan jacket and Diane’s attempts to find her son’s father bring them into each other’s lives. It all has one thing in common: King City. But how all the dots in between get connectedwill keep you guessing until the very end.
