Four Past Midnight

These four novellas will have you on the edge of your seat and the edge of sanity. In "The Langoliers" a jumbo jet flies through a time slip and marooned a few minutes in the past, a few survivors try to get home...while off in the distance the langoliers, creatures that eat up time after it's been used, close in. In the second offering "Secret Window, Secret Garden" a writer accused of plagiarism by a psychopath has an awful time trying to prove his innocence. "The Library Policeman," the books third story, pits a middle-aged man with some overdue books against a demonic, life-sucking monster of a librarian. The final novella "The Sun Dog," features a boy's Polaroid camera, which, no matter where it is focused, takes pictures of a huge, mean and ugly dog. But in each photo the dogs gets closer and closer to the edge of the picture plane. Copyright 1990 by Stephen King. Published by the Penguin Group.
