This anthology compiles their celebrated novels, poems, and lesser-known writings, offering a panoramic view of the themes that captivated their imaginations'Äîfrom the fierce independence of individuals against societal norms to the wild beauty inherent in the natural world.

    "A man is infinite, and he can only be happy if he has the freedom to choose."
    
    Written towards the end of Tolstoy's life and published posthumously, Hadji Murat tells the story of a great Chechen warrior torn apart by a conflict of loyalties.
    
    Set against the backdrop of the Caucasus in the 19th century, the story follows Hadji Murat as he navigates the complexities of loyalty, betrayal, and the quest for freedom. Tolstoy paints a vivid portrait of a man torn between his desire for autonomy and the harsh realities of war in this powerful exploration of courage, identity, and the moral complexities of war.
    Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and social reformer, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of all time. He is best known for his epic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both celebrated for their intricate character development and profound exploration of moral dilemmas and human nature. In his later years, Tolstoy experienced a spiritual awakening which led him to reject materialism and embrace a life of simplicity, seeking to align his life with his beliefs about non-violence and compassion. Tolstoy's legacy endures not only through his literary masterpieces but also through his profound impact on literature and philosophy.

    An original anthology celebrating Rod Serling's landmark television series featuring stories by Whitley Strieber, R. L. Stine, Laura Lippman, and others.When it first aired in 1959, The Twilight Zone was nothing less than groundbreaking television. Freed from much of the censors' strict oversight because of the show's classification as “science fiction,” the 156 filmed episodes explored powerful and moving human themes—love, hate, pride, jealousy, terror—in their own unique style. The show has since inspired two revivals, as well as fiction, comic books, and magazines, and even a pinball game and theme park rides. Just as important, it sparked the imaginations of countless writers, filmmakers, and fans around the world, and is considered a seminal show for broadening the horizons of television.This anthology is an all-new collection of stories written in the vein of the original television show. Edited and introduced by Carol Serling, it includes brand-new stories by science fiction and fantasy luminaries such as Whitley Strieber, Loren D. Estleman, Joe Lansdale, R. L. Stine, Timothy Zahn, and Peter S. Beagle, as well as writers from the original series, Earl Hamner and Harlan Ellison, all in honor of Rod's incredible vision.
