An original anthology celebrating Rod Serling's landmark television series When it first aired in 1959, The Twilight Zone was nothing less than groundbreaking television. Freed from much of the censors' strict oversight because of the show's classification as "science fiction," the 156 filmed episodes explored powerful and moving human themes--love, hate, pride, jealousy, terror--in their own unique style.The show has since inspired two revivals, as well as fiction, comic books, and magazines, and even a pinball game and theme park rides. Just as important, it sparked the imaginations of countless writers, filmmakers, and fans around the world, and is considered a seminal show for broadening the horizons of television. This anthology will be an all-new collection of stories written in the vein of the original television show. 2009 is the fiftieth anniversary of The Twilight Zone's first broadcast year. Edited and featured and introduction by Carol Serling, the anthology will include brand new stories by science fiction and fantasy luminaries such as Whitley Strieber, Loren D. Estleman, Joe Lansdale, R. L. Stine, Timothy Zahn, and Peter S. Beagle, as well as writers from the original series, Earl Hammer and Harlan Ellison(R), all in honor of Rod's incredible vision.

I really liked most of the 19 (actually 18) short stories in this collection. The stories are set up like the TV show. A brief intro sets the scenario and then the story ensues. "Genesis", is the first story. While it sort of provides background to the "Twilight Zone" it falls flat. The second story "A Haunted House of Her Own" has a surprise climax with an ending appropriate for the climax. Other stories themes include premonitions, interesting recruiting methods, possessed or magical objects. The 19th 'story' is not a real short story. It is a sketch that the late Rod Serling did perhaps for a TV show and thus does not read like, and I would argue is not, a short story. However, it does provide enough structure to allow one's imagination to fill in and thus enter "The Twilight Zone."
