Friday: I guess I don't have a title for today.

I saw this bird today.
TldrL:

  • Title:  The Shadow out of Time
  • Date:  1935
  • Summary:  For being so long, this one is actually pretty simple to summarize.  An economics professor is teaching, when one day his mind is taken over by a weird creature from prehistory.  The creature pretends he's the same guy, just with amnesia, and does rather boring stuff while body-jacking.  At the same time (ish), the economics professor mind is sent to live in the creature's body in a creature city in Australia in the distant past.  Eventually the creature reswaps bodies, and the professor remembers the past only in his dreams.  He goes on an archaeological expedition and discovers the creature city, and even finds the journal he kept, but is chased away by the monsters that destroyed the creature city and the wind hides the evidence.
  • Real Villain:  Time.
  • Last line in italics?  No.
  • Writer writes instead of fleeing?  No.
  • Rating:  7/10.
  • Read it:  Here.
