Chapter 1: What new series is being announced in this episode?
Howdy, y'all. It is Jeffrey Cranor. I'm recording this in December of 2025, and I'm here to tell you folks in the Western U.S. that Welcome to Night Vale Live is coming your way. We're touring our newest live show, Murder Night in Blood Forest, next month.
We'll be in Seattle on January 16th, 2026, Portland on the 17th, Eugene on the 18th, then on January 21st, we're in Sacramento, San Francisco on the 22nd, As part of SF Sketch Fest, we are in LA on January 23rd, Tucson on the 24th, and Albuquerque on Monday, January 26th. We're closing it out in Colorado with shows on January 27th in Boulder and the 28th in Aspen.

Come see Cecil Baldwin, Symphony Sanders, Disparition, me, and our musical guest Mal Blum live on stage. Tickets at welcometonightville.com slash live.
Chapter 2: What details are shared about the upcoming live shows?
Also, did you know my Night Vale co-writer Joseph Fink and I write books, too? We have three novels set in the Night Vale universe. Welcome to Night Vale, It Devours, and... the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home. That last one is my favorite thing I've ever written. It is epic, it's thrilling, and it has an ending that will shock the pants off of you. Metaphorically. Hopefully.
Also, Joseph's middle grade horror novel, The Halloween Moon, is spooky autumnal fun. And if you want to get all brainy and sci-fi, Janina Mathewson and I wrote You Feel It Just Below the Ribs, a found text novel set in an alternate 20th century that chronicles one woman's unusual life, including the price she pays to survive and the cost her choices hold for the society she's trying to save.
So get any or all of these books at bookplaces you like. Okay, now on to the episode. And hey, thanks.
Hi, Joseph Fink here with an announcement I never thought I'd make. So seven years ago I finished the show Alice Isn't Dead and I closed the Patreon. I moved on with my life. I genuinely didn't think I would be writing anymore. And then this year, unexpectedly, I got the urge to write more Alice Isn't Dead. I hadn't seen it coming.
I reached out to Disparition and to Jessica, who work on Alice Isn't Dead with me, and fortunately they were down to do it. And so we have been working on it for the last, I don't know, year or so. And we will have a sequel series, Alice Isn't Dead, Don't Tell Alice. coming out on April 13th on the Alice Isn't Dead feed, or you can join our Patreon and get it a week early on April 6th.
But let me talk about that. There's only three of us working on this show, and... Basically, we just split whatever money comes in. So we're working entirely for free and hoping that some money comes in. The main way we're going to do that is the Patreon. So I've opened the Alice Isn't Dead Patreon. I've completely updated. There's entirely new rewards, new tiers. I'm still figuring out.
So if you have any comments or things you want, please let me know. I'm opening it up now if you want to support us while we make the show during the production. That would be incredible. That helps us make it, and there's some fun stuff that'll happen during that time.
Write with me sessions in which you can write with me on Zoom if you have your own project you need to be working on, as well as production diaries, other things that will happen when I think of maybe sneak peeks. So you can join now and help us. That will be at the link in the show notes. Or I will come back and remind you when the show is actually out in April, if you want to wait until then.
That's fine too, I understand. What you're about to hear is a trailer for this season. This is not a story about Thistle or about Praxis or about the Oracles. I wanted to have Keisha have a brand new adventure. It's not exactly standalone, I guess, because I don't think having some background on who these people are would probably be helpful. But it is an entirely new story.

Chapter 3: What books are mentioned and what are their themes?
Less triumphant.
Less self-righteous. From the team that brought you Alice Isn't Dead. Because in my first story, Alice was the one who did wrong.
Vanishing from my life, leaving behind only mourning and memory.
Comes a brand new sequel series.
I'm not saying it's wrong, because I think I have to do it. I'm only saying that I'm going to have to learn to live with it.
Written by Joseph Fink, co-creator of Welcome to Night Vale, and with original music and sound design by Disparition. My phone rang.
And I picked it up. I don't know why. No one picks up the phone anymore. But I did. Starring Jessica Nicole of Fringe, The Good Doctor, and Scandal. But first and last, the voice gave me a warning.
And something in the way she said it made me think I had better pay attention. She said, Don't tell Alice.
Alice isn't dead. Don't tell Alice. Coming April 13th, wherever you get your podcasts. And available early and ad-free on our Patreon. Okay, hello again. So remember, you can go to the Patreon, which the link is in the show notes for this episode, or just search Alice Isn't Dead on Patreon. That will be the main way we are able to make this show.
