About this listen

Somewhere just off the interstate, in the heart of the American Midwest, there's a quaint, quirky town where the stars in the sky circle a hypnotic void...where magnetic fields play havoc with time and perception...where metallic rain and plasma rivers and tentacles in the plumbing are simply part of the unsettling charm.

Mallory Jenkins is about to experience the unique properties of this place for herself - she'll have no choice, considering the collapsed bridge that rerouted her urgent and mysterious trip to Saskatchewan, forcing her straight into the heart of town, where her Impala has an inexplicable breakdown. She intends to stay overnight - just until the auto repair shop can make the fix in the morning and send her on her way. But Mallory will soon encounter Dr. Lewis Burnish, a scientist who's studied the town for a dozen years and knows more about its strangeness than even the locals do. And when she accidentally-on-purpose creates his evil clone, she'll set off a series of events that could unleash the ultimate evil upon the town and wreak havoc on the world at large. Life in a small town is like that sometimes.

Welcome to Anomaly Flats. Have some waffles, meet the folks, and enjoy the scenery...and if you happen to be in Walmart, whatever you do, don't go down aisle eight. Don't ever go down aisle eight.

It was ok. Kind of like Welcome to Night Vale, but not as immersive or charming.

i enjoyed this book very much, and especially appreciated the snappy dialogue, richly imagined secondary characters, and widely inventive anomalies of the tridimensional nexus that is ANOMALY FLATS. the book is lorded with deadpan throwaway lines and bits of descriptive

I really liked this book. It's very similar to welcome to Night Vale and feels slightly like either it could be a booney themed adjacent city or otherwise somehow part of that universe.

I love the story and really enjoyed the ended. However, I think the story would have been better told by someone else whose voice didn’t sound so monotone.

Great story…but would have been better with a different narrator.

Nowhere near a charming as Welcome to Nightvale. After the absurdity of the town wears off, all that's left is the thorough unlikability of the main character, making the second half of the book a slog to get through.

Amazing reading, wonderful story and a heroine to really admire from afar. LOL I love the humor, the horror introduced as hilarious effects and side-effects and the world of Anomaly Flats. I'll have to go digging and find out if there are shorts or bits and pieces to enjoy. Smith is an incredible story teller, able to hand you everyday objects and twist them while you're holding them into astounding new tools or scary things to be run away from. What a great story!

I loved this. I’m a fan of the Welcome to Night Vale podcast and this was right up that alley. I’m happy I ran across this!!

Holy WOW

I would call it a poor man's Nightvale but Nightvale is free. It was not a bad listen but I don't think I will be returning.

A bit dull. tries to hard force weirdness.

Reminds me of ‘John Dies in the End’. Anomaly Flats was a journey into the unexpected, quirky and weird town. Paranormal craziness and a bit funny.

Quirky

I really liked this book. Narrators was great. I really liked the writing style and will listen to the authors other book. Just suspend your belief and do not take anything too seriously. Worth listening if you like fun, odd story which I do.

Fun, querky book
