Night Vale's charm comes from the matter-of-factness with which it occupies the intersection between small-town slice-of-life and deep weirdness., It Devours! is different from other mystery novels. It is as captivating and light as any mystery novel can be but explores one of the most complex issues: the conflict between science and reason on the one hand and, on the other hand, religion and cult., A lively romp in a bizarre world [and] a thoughtful, touching examination of how science and religion might coexist both in Night Vale and beyond., [A] smart exploration of the divide--and overlap--of science and religion. . .. a thrilling adventure and a fascinating argument that science and belief aren't necessarily mutually exclusive., With a gripping mystery, a very smartly built world (a place similar to our own world but at the same time distinctly other), and a cast of offbeat characters, the novel is a welcome addition to any library's SF shelf., It Devours! is an extremely worthy addition to the saga of Night Vale. Witty and well-crafted, it perfectly captures the odd town and its wonderfully strange, sometimes unsettling inhabitants., Thought-provoking . . . The relationship between science and religion is satisfyingly explored with humor and insight. Readers need not be familiar with the podcast or the previous book to enjoy this work, but fans will appreciate the cameos from well-known Night Vale residents., Like A Prairie Home Companion with LSD in its drinking water, this addictive, deeply weird podcast is for anyone who likes his or her quasi-radio listening with a surrealist tilt., "[A] smart exploration of the divide--and overlap--of science and religion. . .. a thrilling adventure and a fascinating argument that science and belief aren't necessarily mutually exclusive." -- Tor.com "Very clever.... With a gripping mystery, a very smartly built world (a place similar to our own world but at the same time distinctly other), and a cast of offbeat characters, the novel is a welcome addition." -- Booklist "Thought-provoking . . . The relationship between science and religion is satisfyingly explored with humor and insight. Readers need not be familiar with the podcast or the previous book to enjoy this work, but fans will appreciate the cameos from well-known Night Vale residents." -- Publishers Weekly "It Devours! is a fun, fast-paced novel full of off-the-wall humor. The characters' struggles to find consensus in their opposing viewpoints keep the novel grounded amid the otherworldly antics." -- Yakima Herald "If art exists to make the stone stony, Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor exist to ask how the stone got there, and why is it shaped like a crocodile, and what strange and creeping threat will it eventually be used to smash." -- Patricia Lockwoood, author of Priestdaddy "Everything Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor touch turns to gold, which then turns to gold dust, which then finds its way into every corner of your heart and never leaves--no matter how much you may want it to." -- Jonny Sun, author of everyone's a aliebn when ur a aliebn too "It Devours! is an extremely worthy addition to the saga of Night Vale.

A confident supernatural comedy from writers who can turn from laughter to tears on a dime." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Fans will find it refreshing to see Night Vale from different perspectives . . . but knowledge of the podcast isn't required to follow the story.
