This book is from the Welcome to Night Vale universe. It covers the show from the pilot episode to episode twenty-five. The first season of the podcast was the first ten episodes and took place from March to July 2016. After a short hiatus, the podcast returned in April 2017.
For each episode, the entire script is given, although those who only read and don't listen miss the background music that is an important part. Before each episode, the authors talk about what they were thinking as they wrote it and what caused specific events or characters to be introduced.
Night Vale fans will recognize their favorites; the angels who might not be real, the man in the Indian headdress, the hapless interns, Cecil is the narrator, the man whose nightly broadcast keeps the town together and informed. We meet his crush, Carlos, a man of science and of course those menacing librarians cannot be contained and may break into any episode. Night Vale is a place of many dangers but these dangers are considered everyday events there and only merit the briefest of mentions.
Night Vale fans will enjoy the back story for what has become such a successful venture and those who wonder what all the fuss is about will be able to get in on the phenomenon from the beginning. This book is recommended for sci fi/fantasy readers.
