I think the HOUSE OF NIGHT series by PC and Kristin Cast is excellent, and a worthy rival for TWILIGHT - a really good read with strong characters and a true sense of mystery... check it out!

 

 

THE TWILIGHT ZONE: THE AFTER HOURS

 

When dissatisfied shopper Marsha White tries to return a purchase to the eighteenth floor of a department store, she is surprised to find out that no such floor exists. Feeling faint, she lies down in the store manager's office and wakes up, hours later, after the store has closed for the night. Wandering the dark and empty store, Marsha hears voices calling her to the eighteenth floor as her unusual shopping trip continues in a very unexpected way.

 

THE TWILIGHT ZONE: THE ODYSSEY OF FLIGHT 33

 

A plane leaves London bound for New York as scheduled. Not far into the journey, Flight 33 crosses through some sort of time warp that sends it back in time by 100 million years.  As they fly over giant creatures which they recognise as dinosaurs on Manhattan Island, the pilots realise they must find a way back into the future.

 

 

THE TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MONSTERS ARE DUE ON MAPLE STREET

A shadow passes overhead and a loud roar is heard, accompanied by a flash of light. Neighbours along Maple Street grow confused as they find that the telephones no longer work and there is no power. As the sun sets, they gather together in the street to discuss the matter. Only Tommy, a young boy, sees the situation for what it is - an alien invasion which disrupts his neighbourhood.

 

 

THE TWILIGHT ZONE: WALKING DISTANCE

 

Step off the beaten path as Martin Sloan takes the journey of a lifetime when his car breaks down within walking distance of his home town. Martin is shocked to find that he has somehow walked into his own past. Can he find a way to warn the boy he once was to seize the day and save his future happiness?
