Working for Carlos, the town’s top scientist, she relies on fact and logic as her guiding principles.

Nilanjana Sikdar is an outsider to the town of Night Vale. For newcomers, good luck with your first time in Night Vale 😀 Book Synopsis Don’t panic though, there is enough of Night Vale’s classic surrealism and oddity to go around, just in a slightly more digestible form. I do think this was an improvement on the previous novel as it was developed more expertly, drawing in the reader with curiosity and intrigue instead of going straight for the absurdity. IT DEVOURS! was a definite success, I had such a great time in Night Vale yet again. It is an acquired taste though so I recommend checking out episode one of the podcast first before approaching the books. It has a brilliant cult following and has been interpreted in radio, book and stage-show format all around the world. Welcome To Night Vale is a wondrously bizarre concept created by some incredible minds. Summed up in a word: Extraordinary First Impressions Genre: Alternative Reality/Science-Fiction (And a little bit of everything else) Sent to me by Orbit Books in exchange for an honest review.
