New York Times bestselling author and esteemed TV critic Alan Sepinwall delivers the definitive biography of Rod Serling, creator of The Twilight Zone.
Serling's pioneering work not only included entertaining millions and shaping television standards, but also being an outspoken advocate on a range of social justice issues.
"What I write is a part of me," Rod Serling once said. Serling put himself into everything he wrote. You could hear his distinct voice coming through whether a script was set on another planet or a familiar suburban street. Many of the hundreds of original radio and television scripts that he penned were in some way inspired by moments from his own life: his idyllic childhood, his time in combat in the Pacific, the period in his early career where he earned a reputation as Hollywood's "angry young man," and even his experiences as the famed screenwriter, producer, and narrator of The Twilight Zone.
So it seems fitting that the definitive biography of a man who poured so much of himself into his writing should be told in his own words. Renowned TV critic and bestselling author Alan Sepinwall employs Rod's own writing to paint a portrait of this singular storyteller, using episodes of The Twilight Zone and Rod's other work to set the scene and illustrate how thin the line was between the man and his art.
Serling died believing he had left not legacy, and that his work would quickly be forgotten. Yet celebrated fans like Steve Spielberg, Guillermo del Toro, J.J. Abrams, Ben Stiller, Rain Johnson, Vince Gilligan, Rob Mac, and many more discuss with Sepinwall how Serling inspired what they do.
A revealing portrait of a complicated, principled man, Serling pays due homage to perhaps one of the greatest activist writers ever known.
