## Description

<p><b>The Bram Stoker Prize-winner for Best Fiction Collection - four riveting, dark stories from Stephen King that will 'grab you and not let go' (<i>Washington Post</i>).</b><br><br>At midnight comes the point of balance. Of danger. The instant of utter stillness when between two beats of the heart, an alternative reality can slip through, like a blade between the ribs, and switch you into a new and terrifying world.<br><br>Featuring an introduction and prefaratory notes to each story by the author, this collection contains four heart-stopping accounts of that moment when the familiar world fractures beyond sense, the fragments spinning away from the desperate, clutching reach of sanity . . .<br><br>One Past Midnight: 'The Langoliers' takes a red-eye flight from LA to Boston into a most unfriendly sky.<br><br>Two Past Midnight: 'Secret Window, Secret Garden' enters the suddenly strange life of writer, alone on the shore of Tashmore Lake.<br><br>Three Past Midnight: 'The Library Policeman' is set in Junction City, Iowa, an unlikely place for evil to be hiding . . .<br><br>Four Past Midnight: 'The Sun Dog' sees a menacing black dog appear in every Polaroid picture that fifteen-year-old Kevin Delevan takes with his new camera, beckoning him to the supernatural.</p>
