About this listen
From the New York Times best-selling coauthor of It Devours! and Welcome to Night Vale comes a fast-paced thriller about a truck driver searching across America for the wife she had long assumed to be dead, performed by the voice of the Alice Isn’t Dead podcast, Jasika Nicole, with an exclusive essay written and read by Joseph Fink.
"This isn’t a story. It's a road trip."
Keisha Taylor lived a quiet life with her wife, Alice, until the day that Alice disappeared. After months of searching, presuming she was dead, Keisha held a funeral, mourned, and gradually tried to get on with her life. But that was before Keisha started to see her wife, again and again, in the background of news reports from all over America. Alice isn't dead, and she is showing up at every major tragedy and accident in the country.
Following a line of clues, Keisha takes a job as a long-haul truck driver and begins searching for Alice. In pursuit of her missing wife, she will stumble on a forgotten American history of secret deals and buried crimes, an inhuman serial killer who has picked her as his next target, and an otherworldly conflict being waged in the quiet corners of our nation’s highway system - uncovering a conspiracy that goes way beyond one missing woman.

Story
When Gyre Price lied her way into this expedition, she thought she’d be mapping mineral deposits and that her biggest problems would be cave collapses and gear malfunctions. She also thought that the fat paycheck - enough to get her off-planet and on the trail of her mother - meant she’d get a skilled surface team, monitoring her suit and environment, keeping her safe. Keeping her sane. Instead, she got Em. Em sees nothing wrong with controlling Gyre’s body with drugs or withholding critical information to “ensure the smooth operation” of her expedition.

Story
Max Maurey should be on top of the world. He's a famous horror director. Actors love him. Hollywood needs him. He's making money hand over fist. But it's the 80s, and he's directing cheap slashers for audiences who only crave more blood, not real art. Not real horror. And Max's slimy producer refuses to fund any of his new ideas. But when Max discovers an old camera that filmed a very real Hollywood horror, he knows that he has to use this camera for his next movie. The only problem is that it came with a cryptic warning and sometimes wails.

Another Favourite from Joseph Fink
I love the weird and twisted world that Joseph Fink writes in. I love the podcast and I was so excited when he announced that he was re-vamping the story and releasing it as a novel. An excellent work of weird and wonderful fiction. Absolutely a must read. Jasika Nicole's performance is amazing. She did a wonderful job as Keisha in the podcast I couldn't imagine anyone else doing a better job as the narrator for this book.

Different from the podcast
I'm going to start by saying that I liked this rendition of Alice Isn't Dead, but I came into it after having listened to the podcast and I have to say, the podcast is better. Maybe it's because more happens there and we get to see Keisha's journey, but I found that the book was missing something undefinable. If you're going to pick this up, I suggest that you read the book first and then listen to the podcast.

Not as good as the podcast
The book is fine, and well preformed, but all of the weird creepy otherworldness of the podcast is lost, although very briefly mentioned as research.
If you're like me and you really enjoyed all of the surreal horrific encounters that were the podcast, this will leave you wanting. If you only care about the Thistle story ark, dive right in.
