yorweth 's review for:
Welcome to Night Vale
by Jeffrey Cranor, Joseph Fink
It was weird and strange, and kind of exhausting to read because it was so nonsensical. But also, somehow, very good in ways I can't quantify.
This is not a book for everyone, especially those who are irritated by lack of logic and reason in storytelling.
Basically, before you go buy or check out this book, go listen to an episode of the the Welcome To Night Vale podcast. If that annoys you, the book will do the same. If you love it, you'll love this book.
Some knowledge of the podcast might be helpful, as it refers frequently to already existing characters. However, I've only listened to about 7 episodes and I did okay with keeping up.
This book is basically Lovecraft with a sense of humor and a fondness for existential crisis.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm both glad I read it and glad I didn't buy it.
