Condition: fine/fine. Limited Edition. Perchance to Dream : Selected Stories. It is only natural that Charles Beaumont would make a name for himself crafting scripts for The Twilight Zone --for his was an imagination so limitless it must have emerged from some other dimension. Perchance to Dream contains a selection of Beaumont's finest stories, including seven that he later adapted for Twilight Zone episodes. Beaumont dreamed up fantasies so vast and varied they burst through the walls of whatever box might contain them. Supernatural, horror, noir, science fiction, fantasy, pulp, and more: all were equally at home in his wondrous mind. These are stories where lions stalk the plains, classic cars rove the streets, and spacecraft hover just overhead. Here roam musicians, magicians, vampires, monsters, toreros, extraterrestrials, androids, and perhaps even the Devil himself. With dizzying feats of master storytelling and joyously eccentric humor, Beaumont transformed his nightmares and reveries into impeccably crafted stories that leave themselves indelibly stamped upon the walls of the mind. In Beaumont's hands, nothing is impossible: it all seems plausible, even likely. " Beaumont's] imagination, as Perchance to Dream amply shows, was more than most writers enjoy in the longest of lifetimes." -NPR.

Supernatural, horror, noir, science fiction, fantasy, pulp, and more: all were equally at home in his wondrous mind. The little leather bags of hex-magic: nail-filings, photographs, specks of flesh; the rubbing boards stained with fruit- skins; the piles of bones at the feet of the men—old bones, very brittle and dry and old. If you do not sweat blood by the pint or the jeroboam, if you do not think loud and long or silent and heavy, and show traces of the sunken pit and the glorious masochism of the litterateur on your faces, you, sir, you, madam, are not a writer. It all looked, now, like the model he had presented to the Senators. I admired and envied him while he lived, and suffered his absence when he moved away into illness and death. Magic can get beautiful women to have sex with you, and this is a harmless and wacky high-jink despite how unwilling said women were beforehand and how chillingly methodical you are about spiking their drinks. Examples of this hybrid tale here are "The Jungle" transformed considerably into a "TZ" episode seven years later , where the builder of a futuristic city in the wilds of Kenya is terrorized by the local natives; "Fritzchen," a truly bizarre and bizarrely written tale of a very strange pet; and "Place of Meeting," where we find the last residents of a devastated Earth, and learn something of their macabre background.

  • Charles Beaumont: an Appreciation
    Charles Beaumont: An Appreciation An earlier version of this essay appeared in The Silver Web #7 (Fall/Winter issue; 1991) Charles Beaumont…Charles Beaumont… Wasn’t he…didn’t he…was he the guy who… No, no, you’re way off. Think classic television, think “The Twilight Zone”. Sure, “The Twilight Zone”. Doo doo doo doo, right? Rod Serling, Richard Matheson— --and Charles Beaumont. Really? Sure. I’ll bet if you named four or five of your favourite episodes, one of them is bound to have been either scripted by Beaumont or based on a short story he penned. “The Howling Man”, “Perchance to Dream”, “Elegy” and “Long Live Walter Jameson” are the ones that come particularly to mind. And if you require further evidence of Beaumont’s influence on the series, allow me to draw your attention to Carol Serling’s remarks in her preface to The Twilight Zone: The Original Stories (Avon Books; 1985): “Several years later, when an Emmy Award was presented to Rod for the series, he said ‘come on over, fellas, we’ll carve it up like a turkey’. He was really referring to two ‘fellas’: Richard Matheson and Charles Beaumont. In collaboration, the three of them produced over ninety-nine per cent of the work for the early years of ‘The Twilight Zone’.” My own connection with Beaumont’s writing goes back perhaps thirty-five years. I was in my late teens, browsing through a used bookstore in Regina (The Purple Dragon, on 5th Avenue, I have fond memories of the place) and came across two of Beaumont’s short story collections, Yonder (Bantam Books; 1958) and The Hunger and Other Stories (Bantam Books/Putnam; 1958).
