Description:
Home is where the heart is. We found it one day in the sink. It hums things late at night, but they are not songs.

Review Quotes:
Praise for It Devours! "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."
- Washington Book Review
"[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."

Praise for Welcome to Night Vale: "This is a splendid, weird, moving novel...It manages beautifully that trick of embracing the surreal in order to underscore and emphasize the real - not as allegory, but as affirmation of emotional truths that don't conform to the neat and tidy boxes in which we're encouraged to house them." - Los Angeles Times
"Welcome to Night Vale lives up to the podcast hype in every way. It is a singularly inventive visit to an otherworldly town that's the stuff of nightmares and daydreams." - BookPage
"If you like your stories creepy and soothing at the same time, you'll love Welcome to Night Vale." - Mashable
"Welcome to Night Vale is a bit like Twin Peaks if it were a podcast -- with menacing glow clouds and monstrous mayors." - Digital Trends
"Each episode acts as a news broadcast of sorts from a small desert town named Night Vale, and they're more horror/dark humor than sci-fi, really. The broadcasts are spooky, absurd, and, well, funny. That's a hard tightrope to walk." - Mashable
"One of the OG pioneers in podcasting fictional drama..." - Bustle
"Defining its own corner of the dark comedy universe since it started in 2012, Welcome to Night Vale is a peek into the goings-on of a typical American small town if that burg had been co-conceived by H.P. Lovecraft, Philip K. Dick, Ayn Rand, and whomever else would come up with a dystopian present." - Vulture
