“Black Mirror” gave a huge impact to everyone in preserving the historical style of anthology storytelling. Now, avid followers of the show are set to witness the series’ evolution to becoming a book series. The British import has an iconic anthology TV series format where each episode has a new storyline, characters, and setting.
