Joseph Fink, co-creator of the acclaimed fiction podcast Welcome to Night Vale, says his entire understanding of storytelling was shaped by the 1999 adventure game Grim Fandango, a noir afterlife mystery that left an indelible mark on his creative life.
A Career Built on Audio Fiction
Fink is best known as the co-creator and co-writer of Welcome to Night Vale, a podcast described as arguably the most important fiction podcast ever. He also created the noir podcast Unlicensed, which ran for three seasons on Audible before the platform shut down its original shows department. He is equally proud of Alice Isn't Dead, a series about relationships, trauma, and the open road, which has spawned a sequel called Don't Tell Alice.
Beyond podcasts, Fink is an accomplished author who has co-written three Welcome to Night Vale novels, penned the Alice Isn't Dead novel, and written The Halloween Moon. His latest book, The Nudge, features illustrations from Jessica Hayworth, who also provides the art for Night Vale, and hits shelves on September 1st. It is a brief and unsettling novella about a man trying to outrun some mysterious evil.
The Game That Changed Everything
When asked about the game he has the fondest memories of, Fink said: 'My entire understanding of storytelling is probably shaped by Grim Fandango, a 1999 adventure game about a sad sack grim reaper navigating a film noir afterlife.' He noted that lines and images from the game will live in his head forever, even if many were parodies or references to classic films he was not even aware of at the time.
Fink also reflected on the advice he received from Meshell Ndegeocello, who told him: 'As a musician, it doesn't matter how well you play if you can't listen.' He said he thinks it is damn good advice and applies to a lot of things outside of music, underscoring the importance of listening as a core creative discipline.
A Writer Obsessed With Books
Fink is a self-described text guy who does not use GIFs or memes and sticks to text social media, even though it does not really help sell books. He is mostly not a physical media guy and has no interest in owning records or DVDs, but he will build an addition to his house before getting rid of any books.
He buys too many books and constantly hangs out in bookstores, never leaving one without buying at least a couple of books. He said: 'I'm mostly not a physical media guy, I have no interest in owning records or DVDs, but I'll build an addition to my house before I get rid of any books.' His latest book, The Nudge, is his most recent addition to his ever-growing collection.
