Howdy y'all. It is Jeffrey Crater. I'm recording this in December of 2025, and I'm here to tell you folks in the Western U.S. that welcome to Nightville 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 Sketchfest. 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. Our live shows are so full of energy.

They're an absolute blast for the diehard Nightville fan and newbie alike. So bring a date or a friend

who doesn't even know about the dog park. Come see Cecil Baldwin, Symphony

Sanders, Disparition, me, and our musical guest, Mao Blum, live on stage. Tickets at welcome

to nightville.com slash live. Also, did you know my Nightville co-writer Joseph Fink and I write

books, too? We have three novels set in the Nightville universe. Welcome to Nightvale, 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, 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. This festive season of McDonald's get...
