Yah, I'm calling this horror. I mean, for the love of all things weird, this book is odd! I've yet to listen to the podcast, because podcasts intimidate me. The rhythm of the book is offbeat, contradictory, and one of the quirkiest things I've read. Sometimes I found myself frustrated with the futility of the characters' situations or realized how annoyed I would be if I actually lived in Night Vale. So...I had to walk away from it for bits of time. Like, I couldn't read it before bed cause I was worried it would trigger a Groundhog Day-like dream sequence. Anyhow, I need to check out the podcast....eventually. The cover and interior are sexy.
