Reviews

Clever, twisted, beautiful, strange, wonderful and sweet . . . this might be the best book I've read in years

A marvellous book . . . full of people we love and root for, full of frightening things, and full of dramatic tension that pays off beautifully . . . shot through it all is the love and integrity that made Night Vale a success from the beginning

I'm packing up and moving to Night Vale!

A splendid, weird, moving novel . . . it manages beautifully that trick of embracing the surreal in order to underscore and emphasise the real
