Alice Isn't Dead

A Novel

De: Joseph Fink

Narrado por: Jasika Nicole

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.

This isn't a story. It's a Road Trip.

That first line of the book hooked me in almost immidiatly. Joseph does a great job expressing the disorder of anxity. I would highly recomand this book to anyone that might suffer from such a disorder, as to help them cope or work with the disprder. You cannot get rid of it, but you can live with it.

Amazing and Scary

I listened to this after finishing the podcast. The writers are amazing but I already knew that. Beautiful but also scary there were times I had to stop listening bc I was freaked out. The police in the story are especially scary given the times we now live in. Please listen to this book.

Anxiety Written

It took me a while to finally jump back in to this... It is wonderfully done and is about fear and anxiety and the life long struggle with those things that overwhelm people with anxiety and other issues, their own brain. You are okay to not be okay and life is beautiful with all of it.

Loved this book!

I loved the podcast, and I love the book, in both similar and different ways. Alice Isn’t Dead is a truly unique and gripping story, with action and adventure, as well as romance and anxiety. Joseph Fink is an amazing writer, and I cannot wait to see what more he has in store for all of us.
Jasika Nicole is also a terrific narrator. She did a great job on both the podcast and the book, and I continue to love her as Dana Cardinal in Welcome to Night Vale. I really hope to continue to hear her voice.

Compared to the podcast...

The ending is better than the one in the podcast, although I still found it a bit disappointing. Unfortunately all of the psychedelic moments of unexplained horror from the podcast have more or less been cut out to focus on the base story.

Interestingly, one character who appears at about the halfway point is almost completely different from the podcast even though they still fulfill the same role.
