One Past Midnight: The Langoliers (Four Past Midnight) 10 reviews Stephen King
Highbridge Audio, 1991
A Natural Phenomenon
+ Really enjoyed the audiobook + Audio version is a great listen...
The Langoliers is my favorite novella so far(I've only read 4 novellas). The plot is great, and the characters were vivid to me. I read this and could not put it down. A shame they disgraced it with the film, but awesome book. I thought this tale was very creative because I could never think of a ...

Time Machines: The Best Time Travel Stories Ever Written 4 reviews Bill Adler Jr.
Running Press, 2002
Good, eclectic, fun collection of time travel tales
+ Time Travel Stories - a time honored sci fi tradition
This is what a theme-based anthology should be! The title is slightly misleading since not all of the tales involve time "machines" although all are tales of traveling through time in one way or another. Some fine authors are represented in the 22 stories here: Edgar Allen Poe and Rudyard Kipling, ...

I'm a huge fan of time travel books with The Mirror and The Time Traveler's Wife as two of my favorites. ...
