“Scott Semegran’s Starman After Midnight is a wonderful kaleidoscope that turns through a variety of characters’ points of view while maintaining a humorous throughline about a mysterious naked man who is wandering the after-midnight streets, menacing the locals. This book shines through its characters’ relationships to one another and to their neighborhood, and how they alternately show up as backdrops to others’ stories as well as becoming main characters in their own. Interspersed are transitional vignettes that cleverly link the montages. Starman After Midnight is packed full of goodies that will charm every reader.” – Kerri Schlottman, award-winning author of Tell Me One Thing
