More about the book

In a nameless desert in the American Southwest, Night Vale is a town where ghosts, angels, aliens, and conspiracies are part of daily life. Here, two women with intertwined mysteries cross paths. Nineteen-year-old Jackie Fierro, a pawn shop owner, receives a paper marked "KING CITY" from a mysterious man in a tan jacket carrying a deer skin suitcase. The unsettling nature of the paper and the man—whom no one can remember—drives Jackie to uncover the truth behind King City and the enigmatic figure. Meanwhile, Diane Crayton, the PTA treasurer, faces challenges with her moody shape-shifting son, Josh. Lately, she has been haunted by visions of her estranged husband, who appears unchanged since he left them as teenagers. As Josh grows increasingly interested in his father, Diane foresees impending disaster but feels powerless to stop it.
