About this title

Review:

A captivating look at possibly the best TV series of all time -- Leonard Maltin "Leonard Maltin"

In all my years of television viewing, no series resonated as deeply as The Twilight Zone. The Twilight Zone was masterful storytelling, and this companion book, this compendium of old tales, is a remarkable gift to those who loved the series and to those who have yet to discover its magic. -- Bruce Joel Rubin "Screenwriter, Ghost, Jacob's Ladder, The Time Traveler's Wife"

In all ways, an admirable and engrossing volume. -- Publishers Weekly "Publishers Weekly"

A book the practically reads like a short story collection. -- The Washington Post "The Washington Post"

Thank you for the incredible book... My dad would have loved it. -- Anne Serling Sutton "Anne Serling Sutton"
