''After King Kong Fell'' is a 1973 short story written by author Creator/PhilipJoseFarmer.
Tim Howller and his six year-old granddaughter Jill are watching the classic film ''Film/KingKong1933''. After watching it Jill asks him if what she saw was real. It wasn't, but Tim it was based on real events. Not only that, he was there to experience it for himself, and knows what actually happened after what was seen in the film.

!! Tropes:
* AuthorAvatar: Tim Howller is this for Philip Jose Farmer himself, right down to being from the same town (Peoria, Illinois) and having the same age (thirteen) in 1931 as Farmer would've been at that time.
* BringMyBrownPants: Tim fainted and peed himself at the site of Kong escaping in the theatre.
