One of the most iconic TV series ever was Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone, which ran for five seasons on CBS from 1959 to 1964. This audiobook contains four short stories that inspired four episodes of The Twilight Zone: "The Bus Conductor" by E.F. Benson; "Elegy" by Charles Beaumont; "Time Enough at Last'' by Lynn Venable; and ''An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge'' by Ambrose Bierce. Read by award-winning narrator Mike Vendetti, one can understand why Searling was inspired by these short stories.

Case infestate da fantasmi, morti misteriose, voci di defunti, queste ed altre cose terrifiche ed inquietanti popolano i racconti contenuti in questo audiolibro tratto dall'opera di uno degli autori americani dalla fantasia più fervida nel genere horror/fantastico. Ispirato dai molti racconti e affidandosi alla versatilità della propria voce, l'attore Massimo D'Onofrio si è divertito a dar voce diversa ad ogni narratore di ciascuna singola storia creando un'avvincente decorso narrativo che incuriosisce e... spaventa!

Il maestro di Moxon è un racconto breve ma ricco di suggestioni. Protagonisti sono Moxon, inventore e filosofo dilettante, e la sua creatura meccanica: un automa giocatore di scacchi. Lo spunto narrativo parte dal saggio di E. A. Poe Il giocatore di scacchi di Maelzel in cui lo scrittore smaschera un falso automa scacchista detto "Il Turco" che era diventato famoso in Europa e negli Stati Uniti. Ma "Bitter Bierce" manipola la materia a suo modo. Come si intuisce dal titolo, egli mette in guardia gli uomini del suo tempo contro la tirannia di una macchina.

A child wanders away from home playing war and becomes lost in the woods. He falls asleep and finds himself in the midst of retreating wounded troops. He believes these wounded men to be part of his game until he arrives at his home.

As in "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", Ambrose Bierce speculates on a person's final thoughts at the moment of death. An instant becomes a 30-minute short story. Bierce was an infantry officer in the Civil War and witnessed the deaths of many and no doubt contemplated his own; thus the fatalistic basis of much of his writing.

A friend of the narrator, a very brave but sometimes reckless lieutenant, is killed in action. The narrator becomes the possessor of a letter that he returns to the sender after the war is over. He finds the sender of the letter to be a very beautiful, sophisticated, but self-centered woman. So self-centered one wonders if she understands the meaning of the narrator's last words to her.

Today we have ghosts that haunted our ancestors, as well as our own modern revenants, and there appears to be no earthly use trying to banish or exorcise them by such a simple strategy as refusing to believe in them. Since man knows that whether or not he has seen a ghost, presently he will become one, and thus he has become fascinated with the subject. Therefore he creates ghosts, not merely in his own image, but according to his dreams of power.
