This is a collection of science fiction stories based on scripts by The Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling. Each story runs for about 40 minutes and is presented in the style of old radio shows complete with full cast readings, music, and occasional other sound effects.

Not really having watched much of The Twilight Zone myself, I'm not sure if all of these were actually television episodes (or how closely they resemble what aired if they were). I can say they all work well as radio show episodes. The full cast includes some prolific character actors and occasional well-known names like Richard Kind.

It's been a bit long between me having finished this title and me reviewing it now so my details are already a little vague.

This volume includes the following stories:

- "Time Enough at Last," in which a man loves reading so much that it is a detriment to his job and his marriage. After an apocalyptical event, he finds himself alone in the world with no one to nag him about his beloved pastime. This story is the one I remember the least well so clearly it didn't leave much of an impression.
- "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?," in which a restaurant suddenly has one more diner than before a strange sighting occurred. Is one of them an alien? This one had a fun twist at the end, although the middle part in which everyone is suspicious/accuses one another is actually the most interesting and makes for a solid metaphor about McCarthyism, xenophobia, and general fear of different ways of life.
- "The Trade-Ins," in which an older couple are ready for a medical procedure to put them into younger, healthier bodies but they soon find out the price was more expensive than they planned for -- quite literally. Realizing they only have enough money for one of them to have a younger body, how will they decide? I guess this story could appeal to those with a more romantic bent, but it didn't do much for me.
- "A Passage for Trumpet," in which an alcoholic trumpet player is beyond down on his luck when he is hit by a truck. But instead of immediately dying/crossing over, he ends up haunting the same places he always did but without being visible to anyone. Can he redeem himself? This is another one that didn't leave much of an impression on me.
- "I Shot an Arrow into the Air," in which a group of astronauts crash land and fight for survival, but with very different thoughts on how to do so. One member is intent on working together while another is very 'every-man-for-himself' in his attitude. The twist on this one was unexcepted but the psychological tension leading up to it is also compelling.
- "The Brain Center at Whipple's," in which a computer supplants the jobs of many factory workers. This one felt the most all-too-real in its premise despite only being a far-off 'what-if' conjecture at the time of its writing.

While this wasn't my favorite volume of the lot so far, I am still planning to continue with other volumes of these Twilight Zone radio dramas as they are short and entertaining enough escapes with just enough food for thought. ( )
