After the People Lights Have Gone Off
**Winner, This Is Horror Award**
**Finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award**
**Finalist for the Bram Stoker Award**
A collection of 15 stories that feature, among others, zombies, a hardboiled detective, a giant space-traveling lobster, an enigmatic alien, Rod Serling, and numerous apocalypses.
The first story is 'Thirteen', about a small-town urban legend that might be leading kids to their doom. 'Welcome to the Reptile House' reveals the secrets that hide in our flesh. In 'The Black Sleeve of Destiny', a hoodie leads to unexpectedly dark adventures. And the title story, 'After the People Lights Have Gone Off', is way more than a typical haunted-house tale.
What makes them into a powerful collection is the author's ability to find horror in seemingly everyday objects and situations, and to rely on our own imaginations to fill in the blanks.
With an introduction by Joe R. Lansdale.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
