Once Upon a Time Machine

A grieving mother steps into a time machine with a gun in hand, determined to rewrite history. A lonely woman finds a mysterious craft in her backyard with a uniquely alluring-and out of this world-passenger. An aging beauty queen learns that the price of eternal youth might be more than she bargained for. After adopting a baby under mysterious circumstances, a young woman is stunned by how extraordinary-and unsettling-her new child truly is. And when Robin, the Boy Wonder, reads a poem mocking his legacy, he must confront the harsh truth and reclaim his story.
Once Upon a Time Machine is a journey through the eerie and enchanting, where ghosts linger, aliens visit, and time itself is a plaything. A collection of speculative fiction shorts from author Peggy Gerber, each page is an invitation to step into a world where the ordinary collides with the extraordinary. Prepare to be enchanted, unsettled, and thoroughly entertained...because we could all use a little magic in our lives.
