Twenty evocative, imaginative stories of the shadow world of yesterday and tomorrow, selected from the pages of The Saturday Evening Post by its editors. Among the authors represented are Conrad Richter, Geoffrey Household, Gerald Hersh, Stephen Vincent Benét, Philip Wylie, Robert Standish, and Robert Heinlein. In their imaginative tales we journey with a man who is given one hour in the past, we search for the lost continent of Atlantis, we go on a fantastic hunt with a phantom dog, we experience the weird power of the moon, and we witness the calamitous, supernatural effects of an atomic bomb test.
It has become an axiom of our day that today’s fantasy is tomorrow’s fact. These stories perfectly demonstrate the twilight zone where fantasy becomes more real than life, and science reveals its hidden core of fantasy.
