The story unfolds with creeping dread as the inspector’s desperate attempt to escape the night’s terror leads him straight into the monster’s lair.

In "The Man Who Went Back," a condemned killer takes a fateful bus ride that propels him forward through time, watching fellow passengers age rapidly before his eyes.
