“What’s past is prologue. What’s future is epilogue. This right here is maybe chapter 4 or 5.”

I have been a fan the Welcome to Night Vale podcast for years and I’ll be totally honest, I can’t actually remember when I started listening to the podcast, I know it was still a relatively new thing but it was still well underway, so I’ll guess around 2013/2014.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Being the 4th volume of the scripts, I presume if you’re reading this review you know what these books are about, but if you just decided to read this review randomly allow me to give you a run down.

Who’s a Good Boy? consists of the scripts for episode 71 to 90, as well as the script for their live show The Investigators. Each episode is opened by a small introduction from either the creators, co-writers or the voice actors themselves, these are amazing as they give insight into what they thought of the episode or what inspired them when writing the episode or introducing new characters.

The scripts are made even better with the amazing artwork by Jessica Hayworth, each artwork fits the episode beautifully and they just make the whole script book amazing. Jessica has worked with the team at Welcome to Night Vale for a while, creating posters, t-shirts and even the cover of the books.

Her art fits perfectly with the strange town of Night Vale and I would highly recommend checking out some of Jessica’s work. Just Google Jessica Hayworth and her website will pop right up!

It is impossible for me to pick out a favourite episode script from this volume, I adore this story arc or season (I actually don’t know what to call it) so it’s too difficult for me to pick just one, and you can’t make me!!

Instead allow me to leave you with a quote that has stuck with me from reading this volume, it’s from the closing monologue in episode 81, if you are a podcast listener I’d recommend going back and listening to it, I did and I’m so happy I did. (the time stamp is 23:30)
The quote goes…

“Acceptance is not failure. Sometimes acceptance is just acceptance. Of course, one must be open to new dreams and new ambitions.”

I don’t know if it was just what I needed at the time, but this quote will stay with me for a while and I’m happy I can have a reference to go back and read it as many times as I need it going through life.
If you are a Welcome to Night Vale fan I would defiantly recommend getting the script books for your collections, they are beautiful to just look at or flip through and even better to just sit a read through.
Reading this book has re-sparked my love for the series and has given me a good restart and excuse to get back into it and try to get back up to date. I’m pretty sure all Welcome to Night Vale fans are never up to date, but I want to give it a try!

Rating- 5 Stars- Amazing! I loved it!

Happy reading everyone!
