I managed to pick up, for £1, a book entitled The Twilight Zone Companion, with a biog of Rod Serling, and an episode guide to Series 1 to 5 of the original show, which leads me to ask if there are any fans of this show. I know I watch it whenever I am able, and love it. |

Hello Alex. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

hello Paul! I used to enjoy watching the twilight zone, long, long ago. I remember this story from the '80s series about a girl in 18th century America having a telepathic link with a man in modern day America. |

Hi Paul, how's it goeing like. Not that big a fan really myself, in fact I prefer reading about it than I do watching it. Reading the synopsis or episode guides can be preferable as some of the old episodes are pretty dated or too moralistic. The odd cracker is in there now and again of course. I quite liked the 80's(?) series, haven't seen any of the new ones. In fact I have a dvd with some supposedly "awesome" episode on it, might dig that out tonight... |

Ah, this book is just about the show from the early 1960s. |

Hi Yavo - I sent an email to that address you posted, but it was returned as a delivery failure :( |

I was just reading yesterday that Bernard Herrmann composed music for the very first episode. |
||||||||
|

|

Hmmph. Was it Jarworski@mail2grandpa.com? I bet I put mail2world instead. |
||||||||

|
|
Having consulted my Companion, I can cofirm that Bernard Hermann did compose the music for episode one. And episode three. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, you did - I'll send you a new email! |

One thing that has haunted me throughout my days is Stephen King - who wrote quite a decent summary of the Zone in Danse Macabre - stated that Jack Finney (he of Body Snatchers fame) wrote a book called The Third Level which is apparently what the Zone could've been if it cut out most of the crap in it. I still can't get this book, as no fucker on ebay will post to the UK and amazon's copy was going for £400 last time I looked. Heh, I just re-read the first line of this post. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yeah, I have Danse Macabre somewhere - read it, too, though I don't recall that book being mentioned, and £400 is a lotta dough... no sign of an E-book version then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah, too damn obscure. I'll get it one day, probably in a boot sale off some unknowning knob. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's how it should be ! Hey, I was thinking the other day, whilst watching Fletch on DVD, about those Fletch books you've mentioned before... did you get some, and are they good ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hah, I almost watched Fletch the other day again :D I only managed to get the first one, although you can get them all reissued from Amazon now. I thought it was a good read - it expanded upon the storyline which was compressed quite a lot for the movie and while it isn't Chase-style funny, it does have it's moments, especially the ending. I was trying to get the lot in one bundle to save costs, might have another look around soon. Btw I just found a paperback Third Level for $3.25! |

Wow, and they'll post to Swansea? :D |

Looks like it - I'll have to get a postage estimate but as long as it's not too much I'm gonna AVE it |

I am still currently reading The 120 Days of Sodom (when I have the chance)... however, my girlfriend has half-inched it from me to read it herself as she was dipping into it - it is an addictive book - I think you'd like it :D |

too much b&w in this thread. |

And now you've ruined the Noir effect we were going for - thank YOU with your modern-girl picture... :@ |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

Always put off reading Sodom after my illiterate mate kept reading bits of it to me in a Beavis voice, "Huh-huh, look, they're fucking.". I'll probably get round to it. I really should get a new book soon, I haven't read anything since DT7... I'm off to lunch now, pub's a-calling. |
