The Third Level

Tales of the extraordinary... Sardonic and wry and infitely readable, each of the stories contained herein was uniquely plotted by a masterful imagination... Their subject is time... But time on a new level, a diverting, sometimes frightening level, where the Past, the Present, and the Future are all joined.. The shadowy half world, lying somewhere between dreams and reality, which Jack Finney calls The Third Level... CONTENTS 1. The Third Level (Collier's, October 7, 1950) 2.
