Nominated, Best Collection of the Year, Bram Stoker Awards
Nominated, Best Collection of the Year, Shirley Jackson Awards
The 15 stories in After the People Lights Have Gone Off, by Stephen Graham Jones, explore the horrors and fears of the supernatural and the everyday. Included are two original stories, several rarities and out-of-print narratives, as well as a few "best of the year" inclusions.
In "Thirteen", horrors lurk behind the flickering images on the big screen. "Welcome to the Reptile House" reveals the secrets that hide in our flesh. In "The Black Sleeve of Destiny", a single sweatshirt leads to unexpectedly dark adventures. And the title story, "After the People Lights Have Gone Off", is anything but your typical haunted-house story.
With an introduction by Edgar Award-winner Joe R. Lansdale, After the People Lights Have Gone Off gets under your skin and stays there.

146 ratings6 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was not expecting an anthology, but they all were pretty good!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5it was okay, not the best from SGJ ... wish it was tho... oh well easy enough to listen!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I really tried to get into this one, but the narration was too unfocused. The author digressed into unnecessary details so often it was difficult to tell what was a significant part of the story and what was not. It was too distracting.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I love SGJ—this just wasn’t my favorite. Always brilliantly written work, though.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Great narration, but stories are weird at best. My reaction at the end of each was the same... "Was that it?"

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I am glad it's finally over. This was definitely a case of the wrong narrator for this style of book. How is this a horror story when the narrator sounds so nonchalant for every single story?
I won't even TOUCH this author's "writing style"
Overall NO THANK YOU.5 people found this helpful
