Synopsis

From the authors of the New York Times bestselling novel Welcome to Night Vale and the creators of the #1 international podcast of the same name, comes a mystery exploring the intersections of faith and science, the growing relationship between two young people who want desperately to trust each other, and the terrifying, toothy power of the Smiling God.

Nilanjana Sikdar is an outsider to the town of Night Vale. Working for Carlos, the town’s top scientist, she relies on fact and logic as her guiding principles. But all of that is put into question when Carlos gives her a special assignment investigating a mysterious rumbling in the desert wasteland outside of town. This investigation leads her to the Joyous Congregation of the Smiling God, and to Darryl, one of its most committed members. Caught between her beliefs in the ultimate power of science and her growing attraction to Darryl, she begins to suspect the Congregation is planning a ritual that could threaten the lives of everyone in town. Nilanjana and Darryl must search for common ground between their very different world views as they are faced with the Congregation’s darkest and most terrible secret.

Goodreads review by Tom on September 28, 2021

Just as weirdly fun and bizarrely tantalizing as its predecessor. Prepare to feel a pleasantly warm nihilism as the creepy town of Night Vale pits science against religion, logic against absurdity, and holds what we know to be real up to a twisted funhouse mirror. 4 stars out of 5. Spooky (but not to......more

Goodreads review by Beth The Vampire on November 12, 2017

It Devours!? Oh yeah, I’ve read that book. This is apparently something I can say now. Night Vale is a compelling and strange place, filled with odd people, secret service agents, shapeshifting teenagers, invisible farms, and the Glow Cloud. I loved the first novel Welcome To Night Vale and I loved t......more
