I received a free advance review copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed these comic/graphic stories. True to the style of the original Twilight Zone stories yet updated with more modern subjects and treatments of older themes, I feel that the intent was achieved for the most part. The art was spot on for the nostalgic intent as well.

As with any story collection I enjoyed some stories more than others, but that is always a subjective thing and the stories that fell a bit flat for me might be the ones that another reader enjoys the most. In fact, for the last year of so I have been rereading classic Creepy and Eerie comics and those are the same way--not every story is a winner for me.

As a horror fan foremost, I was wishing for more sinister twists to these tales but to be fair, that is more the style of horror comics than Twilight Zone stories, which have more irony than bloody vengence.

Somewhere between 3 and a half and 4 stars for me. That is from a reader who was more a fan of Rod Sterling's Night Gallery than of Twilight Zone so you may have a different view.… (altro)
