The Good
With a collection of works from legends like: Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, Dan O’Bannon, George Clayton Johnson, William F. Nolan, Earl Hamner, Joe R. Lansdale, and more, It is easy to see why people would want to own this book. I was pleasantly surprised when reading this book. I expected the contributions of such giants to be well-written, but what I didn’t see coming was the devilish charm that the “lesser-known” authors lent to this anthology.

Nolan (Logan's Run and Dark Universe) to know they put a ton of work into this anthology. It's been a long time since an anthology had such a treasure trove of authors involved. Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson(Both father and son), Joe R. Lansdale, Dan O' Bannon, and Gary Braunbeck to name a few. More importantly for me personal favorites John Shirley, Lisa Morton and Cody

(Dammit, I didn't make a note of when I started reading this. Probably within the month.)
A solid collection with one weak point and a few very good ones. There was a distinct disunity of style and format (teleplays and scripts) that was actually rather appealing.
The Bradbury story that opened the collection struck me as the weakest of the bunch, and it's pretty hard for me to say that; I love Bradbury. It felt almost absurd, and not much else. Contrast the script/vignette by the Mathesons, "Madr ...more
