I've played both AToE and Arkham Horror. I'd say that AToE being described as "Arkham Light," is a very fair assessment, though both are equally enjoyable in totally different ways, if that makes sense.
Still, if you enjoy Arkham but find it too complex at times, then AToE is one that would totally be up your alley.

Personally, I find Escape In the Truck makes a good introductory scenario, honestly, though while I like that one, many others here loathe it. So, again.... YMMV.
I very much agree that "Escape In the Truck" makes a good first run, however we started with the instructional recommendation of "Die zombies die". Die zombies die seems too simple and makes for a quick(er) game while trying to sort out the rules but not as entertaining as escape in the truck! If you don't play escape in the truck first its defiantly recommended as a second play!!! Great game overall you will not be disappointed
Escape in the Truck is always a favorite. Even after playing all the senarios, it just seems more "Night of the Living Dead"-like
