5. Welcome to Night Vale by Jeffrey Cranor and Joseph Fink
Welcome to Night Vale is based on the popular podcast that started in 2012. Eerie and, at times, funny, the novel is structured like a community radio show for the fictional desert town of Night Vale.
Strange and paranormal experiences such as ghosts, angels, and aliens are part of everyday life in Welcome to Night Vale—in this place, conspiracy theories are deemed to be true. The novel follows the story of 19-year-old Night Vale pawn shop owner Jackie Fierro and Night Vale PTA treasurer Diane, who is trying to reconnect with her son, Josh.
The stories of these women come together in a story that touches on portrayal of family, social satire, horror, and fantasy.
