November 08, 2005: The basic underlying themes of this sixteen collection anthology are time travel and or alternate history. Each tale is fun as readers follow the exploits of either a famous real person or fictional character whether that is Arthur choosing a path to become the legend or another that leads to a petty failed tyrant, or Bing hauntingly singing White Christmas in the background of a murder. Fans will appreciate the problems of the world?s last vampire an individual who believes in traditional repast stuck dining on rats buying a time machine to obtain better meals. Combining technology, history, fantasy, and religion (Yahweh?s PDA and Jesus star in two respective tales), this is a fabulous compilation of new very creative tales of the paradox of time or a modification to a pivotal moment that altered changes history. TIME AFTER TIME provides readers with strong entries especially for those speculative fans who enjoy ironic twists to the past, present, and future..... Harriet Klausner
