Welcome to Night Vale is the first paranormal mystery novel based on the popular podcast of the same name.[1] Written by the podcast's writers, Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, the book was first released in 2015 through Harper Perennial in the United States and Orbit Books in the United Kingdom.
Unlike the podcast, the novel is narrated from an omniscient viewpoint that follows Jackie Fierro, the teenage owner of Night Vale's pawn shop, and Diane Crayton, the treasurer of the town's PTA, as they investigate two mysteries that bring their lives closer together. The audiobook version of the story is narrated by Cecil Baldwin, Dylan Marron, Retta, Thérèse Plummer, and Dan Bittner.
The novel received positive reviews and was a bestseller upon its release. It is set within the canon of the podcast and was followed up with the episode "An Epilogue". Two more Night Vale novels, It Devours! and The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home, were released in the following years, although they followed different stories and characters.
