When dissatisfied shopper Marsha White tries to return a purchase to the eighteenth floor of a department store, she is surprised to find out that no such floor exists. Feeling faint, she lies down in the store manager's office and wakes up, hours later, after the store has closed for the night. Wandering the dark and empty store, Marsha hears voices calling her to the eighteenth floor as her unusual shopping trip continues in a very unexpected way. No library descriptions found. |

This is a graphic novel adaptation of an early Twilight Zone episode, and (sadly) it's not one of the better episodes anyway. The reveal happens midway through the book, causing the first half to feel rushed and the second to feel dragged out. The script is almost identical to the original, but the pacing is somehow off. While it's weird for this reader to see the Twilight Zone in anything but black-and-white, Isaacs makes some good choices in her use of color: Marsha is dressed in a bright pink shirt, and is surrounded by cool colors when in the regular sections of store, but the color palette warms when she is encountering the people who can explain to her what's happening. The art style and coloring make this a little more cartoony than I'd like, but the book can serve as a good introduction to The Twilight Zone for young teens who have yet to travel into that other dimension of sight, sound, and mind.
