In Alice Isn’t Dead by Joseph Fink, of Welcome to Night Vale, a truck driver searches across America for the wife she had long assumed was dead, and encounters not-quite-human serial murders, towns literally lost in time, and a conspiracy that goes way beyond one missing woman. In The Feral Detective, Jonathan Lethem’s first detective novel since Motherless Brooklyn, an unlikely pair search for a missing girl in his “surrealistic, genre-bending” story that goes into the strange parts of America, the edges and borders. Moderated by Rene Denfeld, author of The Child Finder.
