De: Stephen Graham Jones

Don’t lose your head over office politics…The horrors of the modern workplace meet actual horror in a fiendishly entertaining short story from New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones.

When the lights go out and the slideshow begins, middle manager Jennifer has a disturbing vision: a headless colleague right across the boardroom table. Is it a trick of the light, or a vision of the future? She tries to brush it off and salvage the afternoon—but when her ex unexpectedly drops off her son at the office after school, suddenly her whole world takes an alarming turn.

Stephen Graham Jones’s The Indigo Room is part of The Shivers, a collection of haunting stories that reveal the otherworldly terrors all around us. Once you know, there’s no going back. Read or listen to each story in one unsettling sitting.

Scattered and Confusing Story

This short story was about a woman who suddenly develops pychic powers and a number of deaths happen at her workplace. Her son is dropped off and causes her distress. This was a confusing and scattered story. It seemed liked a number of deaths were happening in her office and people were trying to figure out what was going on. Then her son is dropped off and the story focuses on hiding him from her superiors. The sections with the annoying kid too way too much time and detracted from the story. This is my least favorite so far. Narration was good.

Barely made it to end

It was confusing and hard to follow. Almost just turned it off but stuck it out.

What can go wrong turning off the lights?

The Indigo Room is the second book in the Shivers Collection that I’ve listened to, and it lives up to its billing as a short horror story. Parts of this story were so familiar to me I felt bad when the presenter shut the lights out to add drama to the presentation and the presentation went down in flames – figuratively speaking.

Overall listening to this story was fun, it’s a darn good short horror story. Kyla Garcia’s narration only added to the entertainment of the story. She gave each character a distinct voice and provided tension through her measured delivery.

Huh?

Maybe I’m just realizing I don’t love short stories. This was just blah. Just a random woman’s weird day.
