With Jordan Peele's Twilight Zone reboot arriving, read the stories that inspired some of the show's greatest episodes, including "The Howling Man"

The profoundly original and wildly entertaining short stories of a legendary Twilight Zone writer, with a foreword by Ray Bradbury and an afterword by William Shatner

It is only natural that Charles Beaumont would make a name for himself crafting scripts for The Twilight Zone--for his was an imagination so limitless it must have emerged from some other dimension. Perchance to Dream contains a selection of Beaumont's finest stories, including seven that he later adapted for Twilight Zone episodes.

Beaumont dreamed up fantasies so vast and varied they burst through the walls of whatever box might contain them. Supernatural, horror, noir, science fiction, fantasy, pulp, and more: all were equally at home in his wondrous mind. These are stories where lions stalk the plains, classic cars rove the streets, and spacecraft hover just overhead. Here roam musicians, magicians, vampires, monsters, toreros, extraterrestrials, androids, and perhaps even the Devil himself. With dizzying feats of master storytelling and joyously eccentric humor, Beaumont transformed his nightmares and reveries into impeccably crafted stories that leave themselves indelibly stamped upon the walls of the mind. In Beaumont's hands, nothing is impossible: it all seems plausible, even likely.

" Beaumont's] imagination, as Perchance to Dream amply shows, was more than most writers enjoy in the longest of lifetimes." -NPR

Profesionally Fit and Tailored outfit
Color: Black, Size: Large
Pretty professional and great outlook wearing it with a tie. Can be used in any environment but not in a warmth area with a Jacket. Feels pretty comfortable. Material was great indeed and pretty silky from the inside.

pretty good for the price
Color: Brilliant Black, Size: Large
pretty darn good for the price. You can tell its cheap when you feel it and look close but its really not bad. Surprisingly it fit very well. (for reference Im 6' 1.5" 180 pounds and everything fit me good, except the pants that were a little baggy and the vest a little short) but for the price its good. Its nice enough you can wear it out and not feel like your wearing a Halloween costume or something.

Perfect for such a special occasion
Color: Brilliant Black, Size: Medium, Color: Brilliant Black, Size: Medium
I bought this suit for my son's graduation and was very satisfied. It looks elegant and modern, and the fit was excellent. The fabric is comfortable and of good quality—ideal for wearing for several hours. I received many compliments that day. Without a doubt, a very good choice for important and special events.

Feels Tailored, Perfect Fit, Fast Delivery, Zero Complaint
Color: Black, Size: Large
I honestly did not expect this level of quality ordering a suit online, especially on such short notice, but this completely exceeded my expectations. First off, the fit is incredible. The jacket feels like it was tailored specifically for me, it wraps cleanly around the shoulders and arms without being tight, and tapers perfectly at the waist. I still have full range of motion, which is rare for a fitted jacket. The one-button design gives it a modern, sleek look that really stands out. The pants are just as impressive. They fit perfectly, not too tight, not too loose, with a clean, straight fall that looks amazing with dress shoes. The length is spot on, and the overall structure makes it look very polished. I also appreciate the thoughtful details like secure closures, belt loops, and well-placed pockets. The vest was the cherry on top. It fits clean and adds an extra level of sophistication to the whole outfit. Together, the full set gives a very sharp, put-together look without feeling overdone. What really shocked me was the speed. I ordered this late at night and received it the next morning. That alone would have been impressive, but to combine that kind of delivery with this level of quality is next-level. Overall, this suit looks, feels, and fits far better than I expected at this price point. If you're hesitant about buying a suit online, this is definitely one of those rare cases where it absolutely pays off. Highly recommend.

One piece was true to size and the other wasn’t
Color: Brilliant Black, Size: XX-Large
Looked nice and perhaps decent quality for the price, but one piece fit while the other didn’t, like I forgot which, but either the jacket fit, but the pants were too big or small or vice versa . Had to return it.
