From the creator of the wildly popular Welcome to Night Vale
podcast comes a story about loving, about searching - and about the
courage you need when you find the unexpected. Keisha Lewis mourned
the loss of her wife, Alice, who disappeared two years ago. There
was a search, there was grief beyond what she thought was possible.
There was a funeral. But then Keisha began to see her wife, again
and again, in the background of news reports from all over America.
Alice isn't dead. And she is showing up at the scene of every
tragedy in the country. Keisha shrugs off her old life and hits the
road as a trucker - hoping on some level that travelling the length
of the country will lead her to the person she loves. What she
finds are buried crimes and monsters (both human and unimaginable),
government conspiracies, haunted service stations and a darkness
far older than the highway system it lies beneath. Cast in the
fluorescent lights of midnight diner-signs, this story is as big as
the open road and as intimate as the darkness of a trucker's cab:
perfect for fans of Stephen King, Serial, Twin Peaks and American
Gods.
From New York Times bestselling adult author Joseph Fink comes a
wickedly fun middle grade novel about a Halloween-obsessed girl
named Esther Gold, who goes out trick-or-treating for one last
year, only to find her town under the thrall of a mysterious
presence. Esther Gold loves Halloween more than anything in the
world. So she is determined to go trick-or-treating again this year
despite the fact that her parents think she is officially too old.
Esther has it all planned out, from her costume to her
candy-collecting strategy. But when the night rolls around,
something feels . . . off. No one is answering their door. The moon
is an unnatural shade of orange. Strange children wander the
streets, wearing creepy costumes that might not be costumes at all.
And it seems like the only people besides Esther who are awake to
see it all are her best friend, her school bully, and her grown-up
next-door neighbor. Together, this unlikely crew must find a way to
lift the curse that has been placed upon their small town before
it's too late. Because someone is out to make sure Halloween never
comes to an end. And even Esther doesn't want to be trapped in this
night forever.

alley, a diner, and a radio station reporting all the news that's

like to admit. In this ordinary town where ghosts, aliens and
government conspiracies are parts of everyday life, the lives of
two women, with two mysteries, are about to converge. From the
creators of the wildly popular Welcome to Night Vale podcast comes

ways we all struggle to find ourselves, no matter where we live.

sabotages an unfortunate Night Vale resident named Craig. In the
end, her dealings with Craig and her history in nineteenth century

God, and to Darryl, one of its most committed members. Caught
between her beliefs in the ultimate power of science and her
