Publisher's Synopsis
In the town of Night Vale, there's a faceless old woman who secretly lives in everyone's home, but no one knows how she got there or where she came from ... until now. Told in a series of eerie flashbacks, the story of The Faceless Old Woman goes back centuries to reveal an initially blissful and then tragic childhood on a Mediterranean estate in the early nineteenth century, her rise in the criminal underworld of Europe, a nautical adventure with a mysterious organisation of smugglers, her plot for revenge and ultimately her death and its aftermath, as her spirit travels the world for decades until settling in modern-day Night Vale.
