A very cool book that was easy to read. Some really great story telling with only 1 or 2 duds, with the Sorcerers Mate being one of them. Read about 3 pages and decided that was enough. The final story in the book written by Rod Serling was a treat because I was able to imagine his voice as the narrator while I read it.

It was okay. Some stories were better than others. All of them were weird.
