Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009)
First off, if you’ve been paying attention, it’s no secret, I cherish anthologies of short speculative fiction. I dig the stuff in all its many forms—books, comics, film, and TV. Weird Tales,Creepshow,The Illustrated Man, Heavy Metal = love, love, love, and love.
FP is a love letter to my favorite entertainment stuff.
I was lucky. You could say that I was spoiled. Because I was exposed to this stuff early. As a result, it’s a part of me.
Long before I discovered Tales of O. Henry or found the work of Ray Bradbury, I was introduced to Mr. Rod Serling.
Some of my earliest joyful TV memories include watching reruns of The Twilight Zone during annual holiday marathons—starting long before I could read. These series have a supreme impact on the way I think about storytelling and inspire the making of False Positive. I love me some anthology TV! ❤
How about you?
Why not celebrate Halloween by binging a great anthology series this October?
