“The stories in Larry Hinkle's terrific An Hour Before Dark form a labyrinth whose branching corridors connect to one another at unexpected points in unexpected ways. You should reconsider boarding that flight, or stopping at that service station, or setting out on that path through the wilderness. But it's probably too late for that, and soon you're going to discover that the United States number more than you remember, that writers whose every book you'd swear you read don't exist, that there are creatures that don't need eyes to follow you. Keep going: the light from the two moons should be enough to guide you on your way.”
