Samenvatting:

"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone." -Rod Serling (1924 - 1975)

The year 2024 marked the centenary of Rod Serling, creator of The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery.

An appreciation and exploration of the six-time Emmy-winning writer's catalogue, Rod Serling at 100: One Writer's Acknowledgment looks at some of Serling's best known work and also some of his least acknowledged, inviting a new perspective on a master storyteller. In the process, Dougherty takes a personal look at the time he spent in The Twilight Zone that led to his own award-winning writing career.
