Long before anyone had heard of alien cookbooks, gremlins on the
wings of airplanes, or places where pig-faced people are considered
beautiful, Rod Serling was the most prestigious writer in American
television. As creator, host, and primary writer for The Twilight
Zone, Serling became something more: an American icon. When Serling
died in 1975, at the age of fifty, he was the most honored, most
outspoken, most recognizable, and likely the most prolific writer
in television history. Though best known for The Twilight Zone,
Serling wrote over 250 scripts for film and television and won an
unmatched six Emmy Awards for dramatic writing for four different
series. His filmography includes the acclaimed political thriller
Seven Days in May and cowriting the original Planet of the Apes. In
great detail and including never-published insights drawn directly
from Serling’s personal correspondence, unpublished writings,
speeches, and unproduced scripts, Nicholas Parisi explores
Serling’s entire, massive body of work. With a foreword by
Serling’s daughter, Anne Serling, Rod Serling: His Life, Work,
and Imagination is part biography, part videography, and part
critical analysis. It is a painstakingly researched look at all of
Serling’s work—in and out of The Twilight Zone.
