Praise and Reviews

"I'm blown away by the mass of data ... by the attention to the smallest detail. You deserve the highest praise for this book. It puts everything else written about Twilight Zone in the shade. Monumental and fascinating, and hugely informative!"

-- Sci-Fi Author William F. Nolan

"Readers who feel they've entered this dimension before, namely via Marc Scott Zicree's Twilight Zone Companion years ago, are in for a treat. Grams has dug further than any other researcher into this durable anthology's creation and history, a series which included amongs its fans novelist Ayn Rand and actress Jodie Foster. . . . The Twilight Zone: Unlocking the Door to a Television Classic is a proud testament to the series's enduring appeal."

-- Mark Phillips, book review issue #120 of Filmfax
