About Time: 12 Short Stories ReviewJack Finney, writing in the late 1950s and early 1960s, was hardly the first writer who explored time travel; after all, H.G. Wells wrote "The Time Machine" more than half a century earlier, and that classic was already being turned into a movie as Finney was writing his short stories. But Finney defined the time-travel story as no other writer has. When you read these stories, they will seem familiar to you--perhaps because you have read them before, as many of them have appeared in other anthologies; but perhaps because so many other writers have imitated Finney, all without surpassing him.
Here you will find "The Third Level," about a mysterious platform in Grand Central Station that leads into another world (a precursor of "Level Nine and Three-quarters" in the "Harry Potter" books). And "Of Missing Persons," the classic tale of lost faith and missed opportunities. And "The Coin Collector," about alternate realities, where "a Woodrow Wilson dime" reveals that "every once in a while something from one of these worlds . . . will stray into another one."
Jack Finney wasn't the first, but he was the best. His stories weave together O. Henry's story-telling talent (and surprise-twist endings), Rod Serling's imagination, and Ray Bradbury's skill at juxtaposing the familiar with the slightly terrifying. This book's stories are a treat.About Time: 12 Short Stories Overview
