REVIEWS
“
The Twilight Zone is ingrained in our collective conscious like no other TV show….Essential for all Zone fans—and who isn't one?”—
Library Journal
“
The Twilight Zone Companion is one of the finest examinations of a television series. Author Marc Scott Zicree spent five years researching and writing what is without a doubt the definitive look at this classic horror-fantasy-science fiction show. Not only is the book an exhaustive episode-by-episode guide, but the author apparently interviewed every living soul who was ever associated with the show. It's quite likely that creator Rod Serling, who died before the book saw publication in 1982, would have been suitably impressed by the respect and dedication that clearly went into this labor of love.”—Amazon.com Review
