Four past midnight by stephen king7/8/2023 Upon arrival, they find the airport deserted. Brian manages to land in Bangor, Maine despite furious protests from Craig, who insists on reaching Boston for an important conference that will decide his fate. Brian takes control of the plane, but is unable to make any outside contact, and the passengers can only see a dark void below the plane. The passengers find that the crew and the passengers who were awake have disappeared, leaving the airliner under the control of the autopilot. Dinah, mistaking a wig for a scalp, screams and awakes Brian and nine other passengers: teacher Laurel Stevenson, English diplomat Nick Hopewell, writer Bob Jenkins, violinist Albert Kaussner and his girlfriend Bethany Simms, businessman Rudy Warwick, mechanic Don Gaffney, bank manager Craig Toomy and an unknown heavily intoxicated passenger. Dinah Bellman, a young blind girl with psychic abilities, also falls asleep, and awakes to find that her aunt and several other passengers have disappeared. Brian falls asleep during takeoff, having been awake throughout his previous flight. A flight attendant speaks of an unusual phenomenon over the Mojave Desert that resembles an aurora. Pilot Brian Engle, immediately after a difficult flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles, learns that his ex-wife Anne has died in an accident in Boston, and he boards a red-eye flight to Boston as a passenger.

Perhaps this is because 9/11 was one of her central inspirations for the novel. Though she wrote it before the pandemic and set it during World War II, it’s almost eerie how timely the book’s preoccupations match our current moment. Forthcoming on April 6 from Counterpoint Press, The Elephant of Belfast explores grief and resilience, both within a city as well as a person. Even more, her attention and generosity spill onto the page, as you’ll see in her exquisite debut novel. Put simply, Walsh is one of the most thoughtful and giving people I’ve ever met, and I’m certainly not the only one who feels this way. Walsh runs her workshop in a way that, to me, feels both rigorous and nurturing, serious and fun. On top of all that, Walsh teaches a private nine-month writing workshop, which is how I first got to know her. Her own writing has appeared widely in publications such as Longreads, Texas Highways, New York Times Book Review, Story Quarterly, Guernica, and many others. She’s the founder of the nonprofit organization, Austin Bat Cave, which offers writing programs to children and aims to “empower students to find their voices and tell their stories.” Further, she’s worked as a freelance editor and screener for the MFA program at the Michener Center at the University of Texas. In her seventeen years in Texas, Walsh has grown deep roots in the local literary community. Though originally from Michigan and then hailing from New York, S.

Convinced that Darlington survived the demon attack, Alex hatches a plan to drag him back from the depths of hell by finding the Gauntlet, a portal to hell constructed by Yale students during the Great Depression.
