All hail the mighty glow cloud!! This audiobook was perfect. I haven't even listened to the podcast yet! I'll probably read this book and listen to the audiobook again in the future. The narrator was amazing. The short part where the glow cloud speaks is ACTUALLY scary, even after replaying it 10 more times!

Update: I already re-listened to this! ...more

I did not read the podcast. I didn't know there was a podcast. Thought the book was really strange. The world is like our world but a few things that are off like the library is a scary place to go.

Night Vale is a town where just about anything can happen. It is a magical town that simply people do not leave or cannot leave. There are strange rules there.

Two main people Jackie and Diane try to figure out what it means and then try to get out of Night Vale to go to King City. ...more

I'm a huge fan of the podcast. It's comforting in all of it's weirdness absurdity. It was fun to change things up and dive deeper into some of the characters in Night Vale. But to be honest I was a little lost on the plot until about 250 pages in. It all comes together and ends beautifully. ...more
