The Twilight Zone Memphis & The Pool Guy Paperback Book

The Twilight Zone:  Memphis & The Poolguy Paperback Book Novelization by Jay Russell

The first of the two stories in the volume is called "Memphis," a tale of time travel, heart and hope. Ray Ellison, a man who lives an empty life, is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. With a few months left to live, he carelessly steps in front of a vintage automobile and that's when he enters his own personal twilight zone, for when he strikes the pavement, he is no longer in present day Memphis, Tennessee. He's back in 1968. He doesn't know how or why, but there has to be a reason.

On a completely different note, the second story in the volume, aptly named "The Pool Guy," is a nightmarish tale about Ritchie Almarez, a California resident who wakes up from a dream of dying, only to find himself in another dream. Ritchie's inability to escape his endless nightmares is taken to the extreme. Perhaps, at some points, it was overdone, though I found I couldn't stop reading anyway. This was one of the television episodes I actually caught part of at one point, so I knew the end before it arrived. Still it's a solid story, featuring the kind of unlikable protagonist Rod Serling made so famous. That might go against all of today's literary wisdom, but it doesn't hurt the story at all. "The Pool Guy" is truly horrific, more in the psychological sense than in the physical.
