About this listen

Lynn Venable’s Time Enough at Last is a chilling and ironic tale about the fragility of dreams and the unpredictable nature of fate. The story follows Henry Bemis, a man who loves books but is constantly denied the time to read. When a catastrophic event leaves him as the sole survivor in a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, he finds solace in the realization that he now has all the time he ever wanted—to read without interruption. However, fate has one final, cruel twist in store.

Narrated by Richard Stibbard, this audiobook brings Venable’s classic short story to life with haunting poignancy. Time Enough at Last is a masterful meditation on solitude, the fleeting nature of human desires, and the tragic irony that often accompanies them. First published in 1953 in If: Worlds of Science Fiction, this story has become one of the most enduring examples of speculative fiction, further cemented by its legendary adaptation in The Twilight Zone.
