The Outer Limits at 60

There is nothing wrong with your television set . . . Join Outer Limits expert David J. Schow on a 60th Anniversary exploration of things old, things new, and things to come for the all-time classic TV series. Still going strong in the streaming age and with no fewer than three Blu-Ray incarnations, The Outer Limits has withstood the ravages of time and taste to remain essential viewing for fans of the unknown, the mystical, the different, and — dare we say it? — the outré! David J. Schow is the World Fantasy Award-winning author of numerous novels, collections, TV shows, movies, comics and nonfiction — including The Outer Limits Companion and The Outer Limits at 50. Praise for David J. Schow’s Outer Limits Companion David J. Schow’s scrupulous research into this particular series (is) a step-by-step, individual-by-individual report on how a TV series was born, lived, and died. Rather than being compared to other books detailing the histories of individual TV shows, (The Outer Limits Companion) deserves favorable comparison instead to Gregory Dunne’s The Studio or Alexander Walker’s The Shattered Silents. It is deserving of a place on the very small shelf of outstanding behind- the-scenes books on Hollywood. — Bill Warren, author of Keep Watching the Skies The Outer Limits Companion is written from a very intelligent, very informed perspective... crammed to overflowing with useful and fascinating information. The author reportedly spent years researching this book, and it certainly shows ... the creators of The Outer Limits actually accomplished something that was special, and would last for many years to come. The same may be said of (this) indispensable volume. — Fangoria Magazine An essential volume to add to any film fan’s library, (and) the final word on this pivotal science fiction television series. — Midnight Marquee Magazine Indispensable... contains both insights and vintage photos; it’s just the thing to take you beyond imagination — to The Outer Limits. — Starlog Magazine The best book written about a TV series and the television business environment it was born in ... fascinating reading even for people who weren’t wild about the show ... truly a labor of love, with the accent on labor ... a definitive book built on solid, exhaustive reporting. — Electronic Media Magazine The definitive work on my other favorite TV series. From “The Zanti Misfits” to the man with “The Sixth Finger,” from houses whose occupants never age to amusement park rides that blast off to the stars, it’s all here — unforgettable, breathtaking, full of wonders. — Marc Scott Zicree, author of The Twilight Zone Companion A loving, scrupulously researched and winningly written valentine to one of the hallmarks of TV science fiction. This sourcebook stands alongside other seminal volumes of television and television series criticism. — Joe Blades, author of The Consumer Guide to Movies on Videocassette The definitive book about the eponymous TV series... David Schow is both witty and incisive in his estimations of the programs. This belongs on the reference shelf of everyone with an interest in science fiction video. — Twilight Zone Magazine Enthusiastic but genuinely critical ... with extensive quotes from show’s participants ... highly recommended for all media collections. — Fantasy Review Magazine
