A World of His Own

ones he didn't write.

You know, there's a Richard Matheson one that I talk a lot about in the book called The World of His Own, where it's like Kenan Wynn is a writer who can bring his fictional creations to life, that kind of thing.

But there's a really good Serling one.

It's called Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up? And it's...

His novel...

Typewriter in the Sky, where a musician finds himself becoming part of his friends' novels as he's writing them, and two episodes of the classic Twilight Zone series, a more likely influence, I would say, A World of His Own and The Printer's Devil.

King said of the work...

He initially thought of it much bigger scale, deleting things like New York and war.

He wasn't a bad guy.

And then I realized, like, if I stop limiting myself just to Rod Serling written episodes of Twilight Zone, there's one about a writer who dictates all of his scripts and, like, his dictaphone can literally bring his creations to life called A World of His Own.

And I'm like, oh.

That's it.
