The Twilight Zone: Complete Stories Book

X-Files Shmexfiles -- few television shows have insinuated themselves into our collective cultural consciousness to the extent of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone. For those of us who remember them, the old episodes (back in reruns on the Sci-Fi Channel) still loom weirder and darker than anything seen on the small screen before or since; even for people who have never seen the show, its title has become a catchphrase for anything bizarre and unsettling. This collector's edition, which compiles all the stories from three previously published volumes, is a powerful reminder that Serling, the famed creator, producer, and host of the show, was first and foremost an extraordinary writer with an utterly unique (and incomparably creepy) vision. If you are a fan of science fiction -- or, for that matter, any writing that explores the nether regions of the human psyche -- you owe it to yourself to discover or rediscover Serling's genius.
