While Emmy Award-winning Rod Serling spent his career writing for television, people remember him most for “The Twilight Zone” series, a collection of science fiction, fantasy and psychological thriller stories that entertained millions of Americans in the early 60s.
Serling biographer Nicholas Parisi and Cincinnati broadcast historian Mike Martini will hold a conversation about Parisi’s new book, “Rod Serling: His Life, Work and Imagination,” from 5 to 7 p.m. Feb. 17 at the National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting.
Admission is free, with donations accepted at the door. Reservations are requested and can be made by contacting admin@voamuseum.org.

Parisi’s biography is the first to detail Serling’s published and unpublished works before and after “Twilight Zone,” which ran from 1959-64. Parisi received the cooperation of Anne Serling, Rod’s daughter, in researching the career of the author and spends a chapter discussing Serling’s time in Cincinnati writing for WLW and WKRC, said Martini.
Parisi will sell and sign copies of his new book after the presentation.
