| Past midnight something happens to time, that fragile concept we employ to order our sense of reality. It bends, stretches, turns back, or snaps, and sometimes reality snaps with it. And what happens to the wide-eyed observer when the window between reality and unreality shatters, and the glass begins to fly? These four chilling novellas, a feast fit for King fans old and new, provide some shocking answers. After all, past midnight is Stephen King's favorite time of the day.... One Past Midnight: The "Langolier's" takes a red-eyed flight from L.A. to Boston into a most unfriendly sky. Only eleven passengers survive, but landing in an eerily empty world makes them wish they hadn't. Something's waiting for them, you see... Two Past Midnight: "Secret Window, Secret Garden" enters the suddenly strange life of writer Mort Rainy, recently divorced, depressed, and alone on the shore of Tashmore Lake. Alone that is, until a figure of a man named John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger. Three Past Midnight: "The Library Policeman" is set in Junction City, Iowa, an unlikely place for evil to be hiding. But for small businessman Sam Peebles, who thinks he may be losing his mind, another enemy is hiding there as well --- the truth. If he can find it in time, he might stand a chance. Four Past Midnight: The flat surface of a Polaroid photograph becomes for a fifteen-year-old Kevin Delevan an invitation to the supernatural. Old Pop Merrill, Castle Rock's sharpest trader, wants to crash the party for profit but the "Sun Dog," a creature that shouldn't exist at all, is a very dangerous investment. |
