Nineteen Classic Stories From the Creator, Producer, and Series Host of the
Legendary Television Series
"A world of 'what if?' where wishes come true (sometimes horribly), where
illusion reigns and magic really works (but only so long as you believe),
where little guys are blessed with the strength of titans, where miraculous
machines spell our salvation-or our doom-and where the most frightening
monsters of all turn out to be ourselves."-from the Introduction by T.E.D.
