Alice Isn’t Dead: Don’t Tell Alice, a new sequel series, is coming April 13.

Listen to the trailer: www.welcometonightvale.com
The Alice Isn't Dead Logo: A square, cut almost in half. The top half is a bright orange sky with a large sun rising behind a front view of a black mack truck. The bottom half is a black background with a reflection of the black mack truck in white, which now looks like a skull. Under this in yellow letters are the words: Alice Isn't Dead.

Happy #Jupiter opposition for 2026, very bright with a clear sky to the east this evening. Castor and Pollux (the twins of Gemini) to the left; red Betelgeuse and the rest of Orion to the right; Procyon (Canis Minor) and Sirius (the 'Dog Star' of Canis Major) closer to SE horizon. Happy #stargazing

We found a little piece of heaven here. It is black, smooth, oblong. It hums a soft, but discordant note, and we are afraid to touch it.

Alice Isn't Dead. A romantic horror story from Joseph Fink of Welcome to Night Vale. It's a road trip unlike any other.

Listen to the podcast and get the novel here: buff.ly/Gd8hdbw
The Alice Isn't Dead book cover: The top two thirds of the book cover is a bright orange sky with a large sun rising behind a front view of a black mack truck. Over the sky and part of the sun in big white font is the book title: Alice Isn't Dead. The truck has a white grill, headlights and windshield. The bottom third of the book cover has a black background with a reflection of the mack truck in white, with black headlights, grill and windshield. The reflection looks like a skull. Under this is a wide black stripe around the bottom of the book, with the author's name "Joseph Fink" written in orange letters.
