![]() ![]() And then there's the biggest one: an invasion carried out by sinister unmoving strangers and an adorable Satanic beagle puppy. ![]() More peripherally, there's the integration of folks from the now very down-on-its-luck neighboring town of Desert Bluffs, which allowed for some low-key but unambiguous political commentary. There's the trial of Hiram McDaniels, the literal five-headed dragon, a plot that I do kind of feel dragged out a little too long. There are several ongoing storylines through this run of episodes. And, heck, the fact that I didn't exactly remember these episodes as well as some of the earlier ones possibly just made returning to them more interesting. This fourth collection of text versions of the Welcome to Night Vale podcast features episodes from the 2015-2016 season of the show, plus a transcript of the live show, "The Investigators."I will admit that by the time these episodes aired, I'd lost a bit of the extreme enthusiasm I initially felt for the show, but as I believe I said in my review of the previous collection, even past-its-peak Night Vale is still good stuff, and there's certainly a nice amount of the show's trademark humor, weirdness, and moments of odd existentialist profundity to be found here. Featuring a foreword by twitter personality and highly regarded author Jonny Sun, original introductions by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, fascinating behind-the-scenes commentary by cast members and supporters, and gorgeous illustrations by series artist Jessica Hayworth accompanying each episode, this book will thrill fans of the podcast and those new to the amazing universe of Night Vale. Now with Who’s a Good Boy? Season Four of the podcast is available in book form, offering a valuable reference guide to past episodes. Over the years, its popularity has surged by mega proportions, hitting more than 100 million downloads, and Night Vale has expanded to a successful live multi-cast international touring stage show and two New York Times bestselling novels ( Welcome to Night Vale and It Devours!), and a new podcast network Night Vale Presents. What they didn’t know was that a year after the first show aired, the fanbase had far exceeded their expectations, launching the podcast into the #1 spot on iTunes. Their hopes were that they could reach people outside their close circles. In June of 2012, the creators of Welcome to Night Vale began airing twice-monthly podcasts. From the authors of the New York Times bestselling novels It Devours! and Welcome to Night Vale and the creators of the #1 international podcast of the same name, comes a collection of episodes from Season Four of their hit podcast, featuring an introduction by the authors, a foreword by Jonny Sun, behind-the-scenes commentary, and original illustrations. ![]()
