Stephen King is my favorite author, and this anthology of four of his chilling tales is one his best, in my opinion. It's one his first collections, but the stories are as fresh as they were when it was first published in 1990.
'The Langoliers' deals with an airplane getting sucked into a time warp where they land in an deserted world, except for some very unlikeable monsters.
'Secret Window, Secret Garden' is about an author named Mort Rainey, who has to deal with somebody who claims he stole his manuscript. But did he, or didn't he?
'The Library Policeman' is a fictional account of what might happen if you don't return your library books on time, and as always, Mr. King will not let you get off easy.
'The Sun Dog' has an odd take on a Polaroid camera with pictures that slowly develop, but unfortunately, they show a grim 'picture' of what lies ahead in the future.

Sitting on a beach or in a park and enjoying going into the strange and fascinating worlds of America's best authors.

All of the stories in Four Past Midnight are good, but I was most impressed with 'The Langoliers'. I've always enjoyed stories about time travel and monsters, and this one doesn't disappoint.

As always, I wanted to get my hands on another Stephen King Anthology, as his novellas are just as entertaining as his longer works.

Stephen King is well known author of fiction and horror, and he's won numerous awards in his lifetime. The 1980's saw him become America's bestselling writer of fiction, and he's written more than 50 books on The New York Times Bestselling List.

Anybody who love a good scare and a great fright would love to read this book of short novellas.

I can't say anything more about Stephen King that most people haven't already said. This author is one of the world's best writers of fiction, and his name and his works will be known around the world for a very long time, if not forever!
