Summary

Emmy-winning writer and lifelong Rod Serling fan Joseph Dougherty (thirtysomething, Pretty Little Liars) takes a deep dive into the writing of the Twilight Zone creator on the occasion of his 100th birthday.

The year 2024 marks the centenary of Rod Serling, creator of The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery.

An appreciation and exploration of the six-time Emmy-winning writer’s catalogue, Rod Serling at 100: One Writer’s Acknowledgment looks at some of Serling’s best known work and also some of his least acknowledged, inviting a new perspective on a master storyteller.
