Three Past Midnight: “The Library Policeman” is set in Junction City, Iowa, an unlikely place for evil to be hiding. Alone, that is, until a figure named John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger. Two Past Midnight: “Secret Window, Secret Garden” enters the suddenly strange life of writer Mort Rainey, recently divorced, depressed, and alone on the shore of Tashmore Lake. Only eleven passengers survive, but landing in an eerily empty world makes them wish they hadn’t. One Past Midnight: “The Langoliers” takes a red-eye flight from L.A. And what happens to the wide-eyed observer when the window between reality and unreality shatters, and the glass begins to fly?
