This is a collection of science fiction stories based on scripts by The Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling. Each story runs for about 40 minutes and is presented in the style of old radio shows complete with full cast readings and special effects.

Not really having watched The Twilight Zone myself, I'm not sure if all of these were actually television episodes or not. I can say they all work well as radio show episodes. The full cast includes some pretty big names like Jane Seymour.

This volume includes the following stories:

- "Night Call" in which an elderly woman receives strange calls in the middle of the night after a storm interferes with her telephone service, and she discovers her dead lover is trying to contact her from the grave. I really enjoyed how this one was creepy and spooky without relying on jump-scare tactics.

- "Long Live Walter Jameson," which opens with a professor discussing the Civil War as if he had lived through it before settling down to a discussion with his soon-to-be father-in-law where he explains he has actually been alive for centuries. The 'big reveal' here was predictable but the side routes it wandered down weren't; also, it was a good character drama.

- "The Lateness of the Hour" in which a young woman protests against her parents never wanting to leave their house while her parents argue that with their robots providing for their every single desire, why would they ever need to venture out? This one seemed oddly relevant to today on many levels.

- "The Thirty-Fathom Grave," in which the navy picks up a noise from a shipwreck and think there's a possible survivor before learning that the vessel has been there for decades. This was another one that was creepy in the best sort of way; I could easily see this being an episode of The X-Files and loving it.

- "The Man in the Bottle," in which a genie offers to grant wishes to a down-on-their-luck couple but they quickly learn the truth of the 'be careful what you wish for' adage. I feel like this particular story has been told in some variation so many times, but it was still well done enough here to be interesting.

- "Night of the Meek," in which a department store Santa finds some real Christmas magic in giving. This was the weakest story in the collection in my opinion, but it's also the most feel-good so it was a nice note to end on. ( )
