All hail the mighty glow cloud! Kepler's is bringing in the fascinating creators of the #1 international podcast "Welcome to Night Vale" to celebrate the release of their brand new collections of episode scripts from Volumes One and Two of their hit podcast.

What is "Welcome to Night Vale," you ask? "Welcome to Night Vale" is a podcast that presents itself as a community radio broadcast set in the otherworldly desert town of Night Vale. Listeners may be soothed by the velvety tones of our host, Cecil Gershwin Palmer, but have no doubt that it's a very strange place. Creator Joseph Fink describes it as a place where every conspiracy theory you've ever heard is true. Our favorite description comes from artist Kate Leth, who collaborates on the podcast, who describes it this way: It's like Stephen King and Neil Gaiman started building a town in The Sims and then just left it running. For years.

Their lovingly curated script books, Mostly Void, Partially Stars and The Great Glowing Coils of the Universe, feature introductions by the authors, behind-the-scenes commentary, and original illustrations. These books are absolute must-haves whether youre a fan of the podcast or just discovering for the first time the wonderful world of Night Vale. Kepler's will also have on hand copies of Fink and Cranor's New York Times-bestselling novel Welcome to Night Vale.

Mallory Ortberg is the author of the New York Times bestseller Texts From Jane Eyre and the co-founder of the popular website "The Toast."

  • The authors will only be signing books, including copies of Welcome to Night Vale: the Novel purchased through Kepler's, but NO memorabilia/merchandise.
  • Regarding photos: You can take photos in the signing line or during the program, but NO posed photos or selfies with the authors.
