    About Stop, You're Killing Me!

    "Stop, You're Killing Me!" by Darius John Granger is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows Frank Foley, a private detective who finds himself embroiled in a bizarre family conspiracy where his wife and son appear to be trying to kill him, yet they are unaware of their actions due to external manipulations. As Frank unravels this mystery, he encounters a time traveler who claims to be his client's descendant and reveals that he is trapped in a different time. In this gripping narrative, Frank Foley's life takes a turn when he realizes that his family's recent attempts on his life may be orchestrated by some form of mental suggestion from a time traveler named Angus W. Haney. When Frank agrees to protect Angus and his time machine—an invention supposedly capable of changing the course of time—he finds himself caught in a conflict that challenges the very fabric of reality. The climax builds as Frank encounters Angus's great-great-grandson, who seeks to destroy the time machine to escape his own temporal prison. Ultimately, the story raises profound questions about fate, agency, and the consequences of manipulating time, culminating in a twist that leaves the protagonist—and readers—wondering about the nature of sanity and existence.
