Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The Twilight Zone was a television series produced in the 1960s that presented unforgettable tales of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. Rod Serling, an award-winning writer of television dramas, was the creator and host--and wrote more than 90 of the 156 episodes. The series has since been shown around the world and the title is now a part of pop culture lore. Serling adapted 19 of his favorite teleplays into short stories, first published as a trio of paperback originals. The Twilight Zone: Complete Stories is a hardcover omnibus collection that includes all 19 stories and a historical introduction. These stories have passed the test of time and are uniformly entertaining and well crafted. However, any reader who is a fan of the TV show may have difficulty allowing the stories to stand on their own without the filmed episodes intruding. Even so, Serling was undeniably a true master of the fantastic, and fans should cherish this volume beside their videocassettes of the series. --Stanley Wiater

5.0 out of 5 stars If you enjoyed The Twilight Zone TV series!..., February 12, 2001
...and if you'd like to delve further into the mind of Rod Serling, you're in for a real treat with this collection of short stories. Serling's angst and passion shines beautifully in his well-crafted, flowing prose, which bring those classic TV shows to a higher level since Serling writes in 3rd-person omniscient so more of his thoughts come to light. My only regret is that this book is the only published work of Serling's (that I know of). He's one of my favorite authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coming from a big TZ fan, this is an EXCELLENT book, September 14, 2002
By "jenny745" (Georgia) - See all my reviews
It's difficult to write a review on the whole book, so I would like to cut it into pieces.
~The Mighty Casey- I must say that I hate baseball and baseball stories, but the way Rod Serling brought the Mighty Casey together just made it an instant favorite. 3 ***'s
~Escape Clause- A great story, and the way Rod brought it together makes it another favorite. 3 ***'s
~Walking Distance- A great episode and a great story. It fit all together. 5 *****'s
~The Fever- Has got to be one of my favorite stories in the whole book. 5 *****'s
~Where is Everybody?- Another great story- 5 *****'s
~The Monsters are Due on Maple Street- I love this story so much. The episode is a classic and the story in this book is classic. 5 *****'s
~The Lonely- Another classic story- 5 *****'s
~Mr. Dingle, the Strong- Great story- 4 ****'s
~A Thing about Machines- Creepy story- 5 *****'s
~The Big, Tall Wish- Another great example of a twist ending 5 *****'s
~A Stop at Willoughby- Wonderful episode and wonderful story- 5 *****'s
~The Odyssey of Flight 33- This might be my second least favorite in the book. It's a good story, but it isn't an attention grabber. 2 **'s.
~Dust- Good story- 3 ***'s
~The Whole Truth- Least favorite in the book to me. It's okay, but it's just not the best one. I give it 2 **'s.
~The Shelter- Great and exciting story! 4 ****'s
~Showdown with Rance McGrew- 2 **'s
~The Night of the Meek- I've heard that this wasn't a great episode, but I loved this story. I give it 3 ***'s
~The Midnight Sun- Excellent Story! I loved it! 5 *****'s
~The Rip Van Winkle Caper- 3 1/2 stars

There you go. All in all, you have a great book. If you are a Twilight Zone fan, you will probably agree that it is a great book. I'm not sure if you can enjoy this book if you've never seen the tz episodes it was based on. For me, the stories were brought to life in such a way that I could pick out lines of the dialogue actually used in the show.
