A collection that will make you think and keep you guessingBrowsing the table of contents of this unique collection by Stephen Young will make you thing you’ve stepped into an episode of the old “In Search Of” program with Leonard Nimoy. With story titles like “Time Travellers on the Internet,” “Time Portals and Missing People,” and “The Black Eyed Children Phenomenon,” I was drawn in immediately.Many of these stories have been circulating on the Internet and by word of mouth among time travel enthusiasts, but this is the first time, I’ve been able to get all these tales (plus, many that are completely new to me) together in one collection.For example, I just recently read fictional account of the Black Eyed Children, so I was aware of those incidents in regard to alien intelligence, but not in correlation with time travel. Young closely detailed this belief, while providing deeper background into the Internet-based origins. His writing is straight-forward, and clear. Plus, the mere notion of these eerie strangers made the little hairs on my neck prickle—probably not the best reading choice before bed.“Time Portals and Missing People” was also a stand-out for me, considering how many people every year vanish without a trace. Young’s account describes occurrences from over one-hundred years ago that have never been explained. Again, it was quite a spooky and thought-provoking chapter.This is a highly recommended collection for anyone who believes the “impossible” is indeed a possibility.
