This review is from: Stories from the Twilight Zone (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the ultimate source of Rod Serling's own Twilight Zone stories, and perhaps my favorite of all the TZ anthologies which have been released over the last 50 years. Here you'll find:

"The Mighty Case"; "Escape Clause"; "Walking Distance"; "Where is Everybody?"; "The Fever"; "The Monsters
are Due on Maple Street"; "The Lonely"; "Mr. Dingle, The Strong"; "A Thing About Machines"; "The Big, Tall
Wish"; "A Stop at Willoughby"; "The Odyssey of FLight 33": "Dust"; "The Whole Truth"; "The
Shelter"; "Showdown with Rance McGrew"; "The Night of the Meek"; "The Midnight Sun"; "The Rip Van Winkle
Caper"

Most of the stories are very similar to the original TZ TV episodes, but there are some interesting differences, such as in the classic weird tale "Where Is Everybody", which has just one bit within the climax that is eerie, but it does not appear in the original televised episode. There is also a good introduction by author T.E.D. Klein, who was obviously impressed in his youth by the series.
