Description
Rod Serling became a cultural icon of the 20th Century with his creation 'The Twilight Zone,' which more than 50 years later was nominated by the Writers Guild of America as the third best written television series of the past seventy years. Of the 156 Twilight Zone episodes, Serling wrote 92. In the early 1960s, Rod Serling, novelized nineteen (19) of his scripts and published them in three volumes - this is the second. In this volume, you will read about a convict sentenced to a lifetime show more of solitary confinement seeking companionship to avert the nightmare of perpetual loneliness; a failure of a man given elusive magical powers; another story of magic, a little boy, and his hero, a boxer at the end of his rope; an over-worked executive seeking solace in a place where he can "live his life full measure;" an airplane journey back in time; and a story of love, hate, magic and forgiveness. show lessTags

A collection of stories from the original "The Twilight Zone" tv show, novelized by Serling. The stories include the pilot episode, "The Lonely", "Mr. Dingle, The Strong", "A Thing About Machines", "The Big, Tall Wish", "A Stop at Willoughby", "The Odyssey of Flight 33", and "Dust". To fans of the show, this is digging in deeper, with the reader getting so much more internal dialogue and backstory than the show could provide in its medium. Especially chilling is "A Thing About Machines", in which arrogant, offensive Mr. Finchley becomes aware that all the appliances and electric gadgets in his life hate him.
Good mind numbing just to clear the head story! Sure you can see episodes on late night tv but why not read it!!!!
