All Those Explosions Were Someone Else's Fault	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })All Those Explosions Were Someone Else's Fault is a Science Fantasy Superhero novel written by James Alan Gardner, first published in 2017. Combining elements of classical superhero mythology with supernatural horror and fantasy, the story is set in an Alternate Universe where supernatural creatures such as vampires and demons revealed their existence to the world in 1982, offering the ultra-wealthy and powerful the chance to join their ranks. In the 35 years since, monsters and other supernatural beings have become the world's new elite class, lording it over humans, while being held in check by both a strict code of conduct and the emergence of "Sparks", super-powered individuals who act as the "Light" counterpart to the forces of the "Dark".The novel's narrator is 21-year-old Chinese-Canadian college student Kim Lam, who, along with their friends and housemates - glamourous Miranda, cavalier Jools and level-headed Shar - is caught in a Dark experiment that accidentally gives them astonishing superpowers, thus inducting them in the ranks of Sparks, despite their utter lack of experience or desire to fight evil. It's not long before they discover that a particularly notorious supervillain has set a plan in motion that will test their newfound abilities to their limits. As Kim says, "Spectacularity ensued".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The novel has gained a following due to its methodically-scientific approach to superpowers, off-kilter sense of humour, and being a Decon-Recon Switch of many fantasy and superhero tropes. A sequel, titled They Promised Me the Gun Wasn’t Loaded, which is told from Jools' perspective, was released in 2018.

All Those Explosions Were Someone Else's Fault / int_5c446b43	comment	Aliens in Cardiff: Or more like, Monsters and Superheroes in Waterloo, Ontario. Downplayed, however, by the fact that they're not just in Waterloo, they're everywhere; it just so happens that Waterloo is where the protagonists live.

Unfortunately, he doesn't consider what might happen if he fires one while a Sizeshifter made of one of the hardest, most resilient minerals on Earth happens to sneak inside the barrel...
