Flight or Fright by Bev Vincent, Stephen King
1.0
I was so excited when I found this book on the remainder shelves for $7. Sadly, that was the only excitement to be had with this one. None of the short stories here are remotely scary and most couldn't even be classified as horror.
There are a few interesting historical pieces, like Conan Doyle's entry that imagines flying above 40,000 feet at a time when humans had just taken flight, but none make it worth purchasing this whole collection.
The star of the show is Joe Hill's story, but it is a fairly straightforward end-of-days tale and not horror. King's contribution is a barely there tale that feels like a weak Twilight Zone episode. Yes, the writing in both works is great, but neither will keep you up at night.
