Can dreams foretell the future?
In Thirteen
Past Midnight, architect Jonathon Cousins is plagued with the a recurring nightmare
where a cat, seemingly spawned from hell, is always waiting for him. The dreams
begin at the stroke of midnight, but those that follow occur one minute later
than the night before.As dread looms, Jonathon everyday life is greatly
impacted in all areas, and he becomes ever more frantic to learn the cause.
Even to consult a fortune teller for a psychic reading. After one look, she
sends him on his way—and not in a pleasant way. As the clock ticks ever closer
to 13 past midnight, will Jonathon accept they’re nothing more than frightening
dreams…or will he die in his sleep?
Our Review: As with the other short stories in this anthology, one of author Stephen B King’s strongest skill lays with building suspense. Effortlessly, with each succeeding tick of the clock, the reader can’t help but keep turning the pages. Well done.
Based on a scale of 1-5, Thirteen Past Midnight merits a 4.5.
