Review by Steven Cavanagh:

"Time Travel". The words conjure up DeLoreans, blue police boxes, terminators. HG Wells wrote The Time Machine in 1898 and we haven't stopped reading about time travel since. Surely the concept has wound down by now, an overdone trope to be tossed onto the pile with sleek silver spaceships and ray guns?
Not on any of your previous lives. Time After Time, an anthology of fifteen short stories edited by Denise Little, proves that time travel is not a trope. It's a whole genre unto itself, skipping across the barriers of science fiction, fantasy and horror.
For some stories presented here, the attraction is how time travel is achieved- what if that old song on the juke box really did take you back? Others take the reader down new paths in much loved territories, venturing into the Arthurian, ancient Egyptian and yes, the vampiric. Many of the stories also deal with our world, and offer alternative explanations to why our world is as it is. Celebrities even pop in to say hello, from John Glenn to John Lennon.
It isn't a perfect anthology. Laura Resnick's Jesus H. Christ is downright puerile, and Jody Lynn Nye's Wait Until Next Year may only appeal to baseball fans, but Time After Time is a nice grab bag of stories that show how broad the concept is. Dare I say you'll read it again and again?
