Hate to say I told you so. That's why instead of saying it I'm just having a billboard about it built outside your window.

The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home book cover is a sky blue with a series of images in black, white and orange. Clockwise from the top: A castle, a sun, a Skull with a black flag with a maze on it, a crown, a house, the Night Vale eye, a long black dress with a white collar that appears to be floating, a ship, two oranges. Below this is the book title and author information.

“A decades long, globe-spanning saga of adventure, betrayal, love, and fate [about] one of Welcome to Night Vale’s most enigmatic and terrifying characters... A funny, terrifying, and unpredictable slice of Night Vale's macabre history.”

Two Cecils are standing in the photo with a blurred background of a ruffled red satin cloth. Both are wearing black sunglasses with purple iridescent lenses, black pants and the Kill Your Double t-shirt: A white t-shirt with a white rabbit holding a bloody axe in its mouth is on the left side and a black rabbit holding a bloody knife in its mouth is on the right side. Arching above the rabbits' heads are the words: Kills Your Double in red text.  Cecil on the left has his hands in his pockets and is looking up and slightly right. Cecil on the right also has his hands in his pockets and is looking straight at the camera. Symphony is wearing the the Nervous Sheriff t-shirt. It is a cream colored t-shirt. Two navy blue cacti with a pink network of nerves inside them flank the Sheriff, who's body is also navy blue. A network of nerves is spreading down and across the body, like veins. The sheriff has a pink brain, purple eyes, a pink neckerchief, a purple sheriff's star, pink belt and and variegated pink and light purple cowboy boots on. Between his legs is a navy blue scorpion. Above him in wide purple letters is Welcome to Night Vale. The Night Vale also has pink nerves running through the letters. Cecil is standing in front of a 3D white net mural painted over a black brick wall. Hi thumbs are tucked into his jean pockets. He is looking at the camera, a little stubble on his face, a small smile and a youthful glow. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a white chicken on the front. The wings are splayed above its back, neck back and a startled look on its face. It has six legs and looks like it is strutting. At the bottom in white text is: Welcome to Night Vale.

Last chance - once these shirts are sold out, they are gone from the store forever.

Welcome to Night Vale Book Cover: a sky in shades of purple and peach with a small Night Vale eye in the center. Rays are shooting out in all directions from the eye. To the left is a tall radio tower. A landscape in black is outlined in the distance, showing mountains. Behind the mountains is a water tower. At the bottom of the mountains is morse code and the quote by NPR.org: "This is a splendid, weird, moving novel."

The bestselling Welcome to Night Vale novel is a poignant look at the ways in which we all struggle to find ourselves, and it also has a shapeshifting teenager and a mysterious man with a briefcase full of flies.
