Description: Very good first edition, second state in a very good plus dust jacket. All my copies from different sources show endpapers overglued to front flyleaf, so I assume this was a publishing run error and not a repair. There is a neatly inked gift inscription (1990) on FEP. Binding a bit soft. Jacket shows shelfwear at top edge, but no fraying or tatters. Black cloth boards with embossed SK, title in gold on spine. Orange endpapers. DJ shows $22.95 US price. Dust jacket now protected in a clear, removable, archival cover. 763 pp. Octavo, 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches tall. "A double-double Whopper hot from the grill of "America's literary boogeyman," as he puts it in his introduction: four sizzling horror novellas sandwiched within the theme of "Time. . .and the corrosive effects it can have on the human heart." Sure, they're dripping with excess wordage and high-calorie sentiment, but cut away the fat and there's still more steak here than in any other horror book of the year. The premium cut sits on top: "The Langoliers," whose wildly original premise--that a group of airline passengers travel a few minutes into the past to encounter the entities that eat Being, leaving Nothingness--unfolds in classic King fashion, with a psychic blind girl, a demented financier, a mystery writer, and a British spy awash in mounting suspense (why is the beer "Flat! Flat as a pancake!"?; and what is that sound like "Animals at feeding time" at the place near the airport?). And if the entities turn out to be more whimsical than scary ("sort of like beachballs"), they bounce the tale into King's most upbeat ending ever, a rhapsodic celebration of life. Next comes "Secret Window, Secret Garden," the most self-conscious novella of the four, a dour and tense reworking of Misery and The Dark Half. Here, the crazed fan of the former and the animus-made-flesh of the latter meld into the avenging figure of John Shooter, a failed writer who claims that top author Mort Rainey has stolen one of his stories. Or is Rainey only dreaming Shooter, as penance for a past sin? More inventive--and the scariest of the lot--is "The Library Policeman," turbo-engined horror about a vampire of fear masquerading as a librarian; a subtext (and one graphic scene) of child sex-abuse hones the story into a modern morality tale. Last comes "The Sun Dog," more gleefully splattery horror about the terrors of childhood, wherein a boy comes to own a Polaroid camera that takes pictures only of a menacing hound from hell. King says that" 'The Sun Dog'. . .sets the stage" for a "long novel called Needful Things"--already written. The four novellas here, he confesses, were mostly written "during the two years when I was supposedly retired." Some people just don't know how to take a vacation--not that King's fans will mind: there's grand entertainment value here." Kirkus Review

Condition: Fine
Description: Viking Press, New York, 1990. First edition. First printing (with full number line including the 1). A fine copy in a fine jacket. Book slightly pulled at spine. A clean copy with price ($22.95) intact on front flap. NOTE: The price indicates a rarity with this copy: gilt edges to top, bottom and side. I have not seen any other copies with this feature. I don't know if this was a specially-produced gilt edition, or if some private collector perhaps customized the copy (I sort of doubt the latter theory). If anyone knows the answer, please email. Otherwise, book appears to be the standard trade edition, as pictured. Comes with archival-quality jacket protector.

Past midnight, something happens to time, the fragile concept we employ to order our sense of reality. It bends, stretches, turns back, or snaps, and sometimes our reality 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 feast fit for aficionados, provide some shocking answers. After all, past midnight is Stephen King's favorite time of day. Scenarios: survivors of a plane crash awake in a nightmare; a writer finds himself at the end of an accusing finger; a businessman struggles to uncover the evil driving him mad; and, a ravenous dog inhabits a camera, in a horror quartet. 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 named John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger. Three Past Midnight: "The Library Policeman" is set in Junction City, Iowa, an unlikely place for evil to be hiding. But for small businessman Sam Peebles, who thinks he may be losing his mind, another enemy is 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. Old Pop Merrill, Castle Rock's sharpest trader, wants to crash the party for profit, but "The Sun Dog," a creature that shouldn't exist at all, is a very dangerous investment. With an introduction and prefatory notes to each of the tales, Stephen King discusses how these stories arose in what is the world's most fearsome imagination. But it is the stories themselves that will keep readers awake long after bedtime, into those dark, timeless hours past midnight. 763 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
