Tales Out of Time

The hero of H. G. Wells's The Time Machine overcomes time in the most straightforward way, by getting into his machine and setting off for the future. Characters in other stories included here circumvent time by more subtle methods - by using 'slow' glass which reflects earlier scenes, by posting a letter to a demolished house at a disused post office, by shifting into another dimension - or find themselves the victims of manipulated time, like the people whose quiet country town becomes the tourist trap for visitors from the future.
