Long time listener, first time reader, but I must say, these brilliantly weird stories are just as great in your head as they are in your ears (I couldn't help but imagine it all in Cecil's voice anyways). And the behind-the-scenes intros gave life to the world in a new way. As always, I give Night Vale 5/5 stars, plus my heart, soul, lungs, and all the squishy bits in between.
