I took my time with this one.
Well, listen, Welcome to Night Vale is a podcast. Its main intent is not to be read, but listened to. It was expected that its transcript would be kind of slow and somewhat tiring. Do not expect to read Mostly Void, Partially Stars all at once, short as it may be.

Having said that, it's delightful. I love Night Vale. Loved the novel, love the podcast—granted, I don't have a healthy relationship with podcasts in general, but we're getting there. If you know and love WTNV already, this is the book for you: it's full of nostalgia, plus extra comments by the show's creators. If you don't—hey! this is your chance! I promise you won't regret it. It is a friendly desert community, after all, where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep.
