He was so far ahead of everyone else— nothing could touch “The Twilight Zone.”
One of my very favorites: The Monsters are Due on Maple Street
Still so relevant today, sadly 
when SyFy channel runs their New Years marathon.
We like the "Monsters" episode, also. My personal fave is "A Stop at Willoughby".
I have a couple of books about him, but I’m really no closer to “knowing” him than before I read them.
Another of my favorites was titled “The Hunt” and it gets me every time.
