Summary
Winner, Best Collection of the Year, This Is Horror
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.

Love the material
Briefly, the material is good here. Weird, cookie, unsettling stories about the almost mundane strangeness of the world. The stuff that may pass you by if you don’t look closely enough. About urban legends, outright bizarreness staring us right in the face.
My issue is, that other than the first tale and perhaps one other, Eric Dove’s narration does not work here.
He’s a great narrator but I feel he has been poorly paired here with Stephen Graham Jones, for the most part anyway. Which is bizarre as I loved their meshing on “mapping the interior”.
Maybe buy the book.

Missed the mark
Its hard to decide if it was a combination of story and narration or just the narration, but I really struggled to find any atmosphere here.
For me I struggled to buy in, the pace felt like it was set just to finish the book.
