The new series of the eerie Night Vale Presents podcast Alice isn’t Dead is on it’s way. If you haven’t listened to series one yet… well do that, it’s not that long and this article is going to totally fail to do it justice, this is a brief recap and fan worship only and not a comprehensive guide.

I love Alice Isn’t Dead, it took me a while to get through it because I’m a scaredy pants, but it is a beautifully creepy, amazingly unsettling road trip through dystopian America. 

Season 1 Recap
Our narrator takes a job with a mysterious shipping company, Bay and Creek, in the hopes that somehow, somewhere she will be able to track down her wife Alice who appears to have faked her own death and dissapeared, for reasons unknown. As the narrator treks across the country she attempts to deal with the betrayal by sending a one way communication of her thoughts and journey out via her 2 way radio. But her travels take a disturbing turn when she encounters the wretched zombie-like Thistlemen, a population of otherworldly serial killers. There is also the ominous threat of something much more sinister going on, something that makes it impossible for Alice to return even after the Thistlemen are apparently defeated. 

Season 2

Which brings us to the series of teasers for the second seasons and the chilling voice at the end of the season 1. After hours of listening to the monologue of the narrator suddenly a new voice, a female voice, a threatening voice lets the audience know that the perilous journey is nowhere near over yet. There is speculation on reddit about the voice so I won’t get into it here but if you are curious have a looksie. In the 2 teasers that have been released the narrator is back on the road, going through more sinister, forgotten towns, this time with potentially cultish occult overtones, but we’ll see.

Season 2 is set to be released on the 4th of April so Australian listeners should be able to download the first episode in their podcast app on the 5th. Episodes will be released fortnightly.
