After is a young adult book written by Francine Prose. After a school shooting 50 miles away, the new grief and crisis counselor, Dr. Willner, attempts to control the students' lives using the recent school shooting as an excuse. The school gradually is controlled by the grip of the administration, and students slowly start to disappear, never to be seen again. Its plot is reminiscent of 1984 by George Orwell. The book takes place after the Columbine High School massacre and the nearby school shooting is reminiscent of the event. This book was published in 2003.
