Time Machines: The Best Time Travel Stories Ever Written
Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
The notion of traveling forward or backward across history, of changing the events of your own life or those which came before you or those that have yet to occur - has fascinated eminent writers for a century, from Edgar Allan Poe's "Three Sundays in a Week" to Isaac Asimov's "What If" to Rod Serling's "The Odyssey of Flight 33". Time travel fiction is by no means confined to the science-fiction genre; it is one of the most fluid forms of storytelling and crosses over between literary fiction (Kipling's "Wireless") and seminal science fiction (Bradbury's "A Touch of Petulance").

A satisfying read

As the editorial review mentions, these stories are not necessarily the ones you'd see up for the Hugo Awards -- this isn't really a "best of" kind of anthology. However, this is exactly the reason why I enjoyed this book so much. I've already read the "best of" stories, and I was looking for something new. This book did a wonderful job of combining some of my favorite short stories in the genre with other excellent stories I'd never even heard of before. I originally purchased the book solely to get my hands on a copy of the story "Star, Bright" by Mark Clifton (one of my favorites since childhood), but thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the book as well. As an aside, I've also found these stories to be well read and enjoyed by the junior and senior high students I teach. Short stories are a great way to introduce them to the genre of science fiction!
