The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home by Jeffrey Cranor, Joseph Fink

2.0

This is the least "Night Vale" Welcome to Night Vale book I have ever read, and that is a good and a bad thing. This is the origin story of the The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home just as the title of the book says, and 90% of the book is not set in Night Vale. For dedicated listeners on the Podcast like me, this is a disappointment. I love the dark, slightly malevolent, atmosphere of Night Vale and that is missing from the story almost completely. This truly is a stand alone novel, I do not think you have to know anything about the Podcast or the town to understand what is going on in this story. But as an introduction to the glorious world of Night Vale and it's residents (the people, the angels and 5 headed dragons) this book will disappoint.
