Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
TIME TRAVEL IS THE ULTIMATE DO-OVER. It’s funny how second chances usually wind up being just another opportunity to make the same mistakes, though. The authors represented in the collection you now hold were tasked to create grim and gritty tales of time travel gone horribly wrong. They have done so, in some wildly varied ways. There are stories of rare and exceptional beauty; stories of dark, otherworldly horror; stories of white-knuckle thrills and even some that will make you laugh out loud. In fact, if you pay close attention, in at least one of these adventures, you’ll realize that no time travel at all ever takes place. All of them will take you places--and times--you’ve yet to be, and make you think about the experience.
