Magical Realism
by Joseph Fink
Based on the wildly popular podcast, this novel welcomes readers to Night Vale, a desert town where mysterious lights pass overhead, hooded figures lurk in the dog park, and the radio announcer reports on the supernatural with bureaucratic matter-of-factness. When newcomer Jackie discovers a man who can only be remembered while you're looking at him, reality begins to unravel. Absurdist horror meets Americana in a story about memory, identity, and community at the edge of comprehension.
