Welcome to Litsy!

This is the first book I bailed on in a long time. I was about a third of the way through and the stories just didn‘t grab me. I‘m a huge Stephen King fan but these stories just didn‘t do it for me.

This short story collection felt pretty uneven to me - some really great stories, but most of them were just okay. I'm not afraid of flying, airplanes, or enclosed spaces, so maybe that's why I didn't find them frightening? 2.5⭐

A book of stories all related to air flight-horror, futuristic, wartime and more. You‘ll think twice before you step into an airplane again

A collection of 17 short stories all relating to airplanes. Some are a little more horror then thriller, but they were all thrilling for me since turbulence seriously freaks me out! 17x15=255+1participation.

With 17 tales in this one there were a couple duds for me, but overall it's a strong collection of creepy tales that take place in the sky. My favorite was Nightmare at 20,000 feet. I remember watching the episode of The Twilight Zone that was based on it.

I‘m still spending a lot of time in bed since my recovery from my knee replacement surgery is much slower than anticipated. I‘ve been reading mostly lighter fare. This is a collection of (scary) short stories related to flying. I don‘t care for horror or the supernatural, wh was the focus of many of these. There were a few that I enjoyed though, including one about what might happen if torture advocate John Yoo got a taste of his own medicine

I liked this! Some stories were a miss for me, but the bulk of them were delightfully spine-chilling and creepy. This was all the more scary for me since I work for an airline! My job is literally to make sure that everyone has the info they need when horrible things happen. My #freezerbook for #bbrc and a horror book by an indie press for #readharder2020.

#BookHaul from two library book sales. I‘m particularly excited about Flight or Fright, The Water Cure, Lily and the Octopus, and Hag-Seed!

I‘m officially on a book buying ban for the rest of the year (and probably for the first few months of 2020) 😭

King and I share the same views on flying. I know it's not rational, but it scares the crap out of me. #TeamSlaughter #scarathalon @Clwojick

As an aviation enthusiast, I HAD to pick up this collection. I'd consider these stories more thrillers than actual horror, although some were pretty creepy. The scariest one was Joe Hill's story, because it felt all too plausible. Great notes on the stories and an interesting afterword, too.

I have been on the waiting list for this one for a loooong time! I‘m so excited, and thinking of one of John Lithgow‘s finest roles (in my opinion) in the adaptation of Nightmare at 20,000 feet in Twilight Zone. New bus read and a very happy Friday!

I don‘t typically read a lot of short story collections but when I saw there would be a Joe Hill story included I just had to! I really enjoyed his story and a few of the others, but did find myself skipping over a number of them as well. This would be a so-so pick if I didn‘t LOVE the ones I enjoyed (if that makes sense). I also really liked that each story had a different narrator. All in all an entertaining listen! 🌟🌟🌟

Pretty good collection of horror stories about flying, with a nice mix of older and newer stories. For me the pleasantest surprise was Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Horror of the Heights", which is the opposite of new but nevertheless new to me and deliciously effective.

Excellent short stories by Mr. King himself, Joe Hill, Ray Bradbury, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and more. A few scary and a few terrifying. All in all a good read. 3 1/2 stars

I think my fear of flying has now gotten worse... Thanks Stephen King and friends.
Creepy. Hooked on some stories faster than others but all round a enjoyed read.

1. My grandson Caleb, age 15, played in the Homecoming Game at Detroit Country Day School, then attended the Homecoming Dance with a girl who used to cheer when he was on a youth league. Yes, he is tall, he is 6‘9”.
2. Just went to lunch with friends, then we played a game of cards.
3. These short stories feed into my intense fear of flying!
4. I did a grocery pick up at Kroger. Best thing ever invented.
5. Cheese

Only someone who works in the airline industry would be comfortable enough to read this book while on a plane. Really enjoying this book with its myriad stories of things that can go wrong while on a plane. #screamathon

Great Stephen King collection (not all by him, just the one, and one from Joe Hill too). A few of these stories will stay with me for a while. So glad I don‘t have to fly as a routine part of my job now, otherwise this book would have freaked me out even more!

A decent collection of short stories centered around flying, Flight or Fright has a couple of great stories, a few very good ones, and only three I would consider filler. I won‘t clarify which stories fall into those categories in my opinion. Read them for yourself. It‘s a good set of stories.
