This audiobook is for everyone who ever loved Twilight Zone…one genius’ clear vision of why we are so intrigued by the unexplainable forces around us and by the show that made them seem approachable. Though he narrates mostly in his own voice, veteran audio performer Tom Weiner actually becomes Rod Serling by the end of this audiobook, sounding more and more like him with each new lead in and fade out. Not all of the televised episodes made it into syndication, so your favorites are here, then some. The audiobook concludes with an interview with Burgess Meredith, who was unforgettable as Henry Beamis in the much-loved ‘Time Enough at Last.’ A bonus disk has pictures from many of the productions.”
