NOW A BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE FROM COLUMBIA PICTURES STARRING JOHNNY DEPP. 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 feat fit for King fans old and new, provide some shocking answeris. After all, past midnight is Stephen Kings' favorite time of day...One Past Midnight: The Langoliers takes a red-eye 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 Rainey, recently divorced, depressed, and alone on the shore of Tashmore Lake. Alone, that is, until a figure names John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger. Three Past Midnight: The Library Policeman is set in Junction City, Iowa, an unlikely palce for evil to be hiding. But for small businessman Sam Peebles, who thinks he may be losing his mind, another enemy s 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 fifteen-year-old Kevin Delevan an invitation to the supernatural.
