About this listen
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.
©2025 by Stephen Graham Jones. (P)2025 Brilliance Publishing, Inc., all rights reserved.The whole “person has visions of future death and injury” concept is well-trodden ground. It’s been done, and this version doesn’t add anything new. The beats play out exactly as you’d expect, like being stuck on one of those slow kiddie rides where you can see every turn before you get there, counting the seconds until it ends. Predictable, plodding, and not even in a fun, campy way.
The author has slapped some lipstick on this pig by setting it in a modern corporate office setting to try and make it more grounded and relatable. It doesn’t do anything to elevate the story. It’s the same old formula, except the phrase “performance review” keeps cropping up.
To be fair, it’s not the worst thing ever. It’s competently written, and it’s not like I was rolling my eyes every sentence. But it’s so middle-of-the-road it might as well have been paved over.
