One of most ground-breaking shows in the history of television, The Twilight Zone has become a permanent fixture in pop culture. This new graphic novel series re-imagines the show's most enduring episodes, in all their original uncut glory, originally written by Rod Serling himself, and now adapted for a new generation―a generation that has ridden Disney's Twilight Zone Tower of TerrorTM ride, studied old episodes in school, watched the annual marathons, and paid homage to the show through the many random take-offs that show up in movies and TV shows everywhere.

In this "sizzling" tale, earth falls sunward, sending temperatures soaring and human hordes uselessly fleeing north. Lois Nettleton, an original cast member, narrates and performs all parts. This audio re-creation of the TV broadcast harks back to 1950's style radio presentations and is thoroughly enjoyable. One tires of hearing doors open and close, but the sound effects and music generally enhance, not intrude on, the story. The listener's imagination paints a far more spectacular picture of the flaming orb in the sky and the parched terrain of New York City than any TV screen could. J.D.N. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
