One Of The Best Trucking- Centric Horror Podcasts Is Coming To TVThe podcast Alice Isn’t Dead almost doesn’t feel like a podcast sometimes—it feels more like a road trip in audio form. It’s the tale of one woman’s search for her wife Alice, where she joins up with a trucking company with bone- chilling supernatural ties. Now USA is turning it into a TV show, and a book deal is on the way, per The Washington Post. Alice Isn’t Dead was created by Joseph Fink, the creator of Welcome to Night Vale. In it, the narrator’s search for the missing woman Alice leads her to join a trucking company that takes her across the country—both through familiar, busy places as well as all the vast emptiness in between.

Show creator Joseph Fink is writing a novel based on the show set for a fall 2. Harper. Collins describes as a “fast- paced thriller,” the Washington Post notes. Additionally, Fink will serve as the executive producer for the television adapation of Alice Isn’t Dead, which is in the works for the USA Network, but doesn’t have a release date yet.
