BluezReader | Nov 12, 2023 |   This book was interesting, but here is the nitty gritty, if you are a frequent flyer, I don't think it would be good idea to read this book on your flight. Actually I would advise against it as some of the stories within this book will make you wish that you hadn't read it and it might have you sleeping with the oxygen mask attached to your face the whole trip. There are 17 stories within these pages written by different authors, but I have some favorites listed below. Favorite stories are: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet by Richard Matheson The Flying Machine by Ambrose Pierce Two Minutes Forty-Five Seconds by Dan Simmons Air Raid by John Varley You Are Released by Joe Hill Murder in the Air by Peter Tremayne The Turbulence Expert by Stephen King Thoughts: Before I even made it to chapter one, I was already dreading what was ahead of me as the introduction by Stephen King was scary enough to where I never want to fly. Here is a small blurb from his introduction: "Yet you are entering what is basically a tube filled with oxygen and sitting atop tons of highly flammable jet fuel." Now if that doesn't send shivers down your spine, I don't know what will as now I cannot get that image out of my head! I have flown one time when I was young, but after reading this book, I have decided that I don't even want to attempt stepping foot on a plane ever again. So with that being said, I did enjoy the book though, but I only enjoyed them, because like I said, I know I won't be "flying the friendly skies". Giving this book four "Fly the Frightful Skies" stars! For images on this review, please see my blog: https://booknookretreat.blogspot.com/2022/03/flight-or-fright-by-stephen-king.ht...

( ) Lemeritus | Nov 18, 2021 | Like any anthology, there were a couple of clunkers, but no outright terrible stories whatsoever. I can honestly say I enjoyed each one to some degree, and interestingly—because this isn't usually the case with any multi-author collection—there were quite a few standouts. I'd absolutely recommend this collection. ( ) TobinElliott | Sep 3, 2021 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: Stephen King odia volar. Para saber por qué, solo tienes que abrir este libro. ¿Qué tienen en común Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Roald Dahl, Ambrose Bierce, Ray Bradbury y Stephen King? Pues que a ninguno de ellos le hace mucha gracia eso de tomar un avión. El presente libro reúne diecisiete narraciones breves que nos recuerdan todo lo que puede salir mal cuando uno está suspendido a nueve mil metros de altura, atravesando a toda velocidad el espacio y encerrado en un tubo metálico (¡como en un ataúd!) junto a cientos de extraños. Por los aires nos descubre todas las maneras por las que tu viaje por los cielos puede convertirse en una auténtica pesadilla, incluyendo algunas en las que nunca habías pensado..., pero que seguro cruzarán tu mente la próxima vez que te acerques a un aeropuerto. Esta antología, que incluye dos relatos inéditos de Joe Hill y el propio King, es, en palabras del rey del terror, «una lectura ideal para el avión... especialmente durante los descensos tormentosos». .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

You can feel the plane taking off in Richard Matherson's tale and once you are up in the (mostly) blue skies, the horror really sets in.
My favourite is Joe Hill's story that is a little too real for comfort, which makes it all the more horrific.
Really enjoyed my journey with these talented writers. (
