SUBMITTED FOR YOUR APPROVAL (Volume 1) is a short-story anthology with one novella and ten short stories written in the Rod Serling genre or, in the consensus of the editorial board, a story that Serling himself would have liked. Not all of the tales were of fantasy, but all are thought-provoking, focusing on various social and moral relevance.
The editor's preface was penned by Anne Serling, one of Rod Serling's two daughters, and the editorial board include NIGHT GALLERY authorities Jim Benson and Scott Skelton, and Serling historians Mark Dawidziak and Mark Olshaker.
Like all short story collections, you get a few duds, a few amusements and one or two winners. I often enjoy watching television anthologies because I find one gem among every five, six or seven decent or duds, and a gem worth sifting through the others. For the printed page, I found from experience that the ratio is diluted to one gem for every ten to twelve stories. Anyway, I am pleased to admit there were three I enjoyed and one of two of those were what I decipher as gems.
But don't take my word for it. If you enjoy THE TWILIGHT ZONE, or the works of Rod Serling, you will enjoy this book, available on Amazon.com.
