A review by ashlylynne
Flight or Fright: 17 Turbulent Tales by Stephen King, Bev Vincent
4.0
I really enjoyed reading this book and thought the stories were a great complication, even if some of them are fairly old and don't take place featuring modern technology, they are still interesting and thrilling to read.
Of course, since this is an anthology, some stories stand out more vividly than others. Many I enjoyed much more than the next, but I'm not here to do an in depth analysis of all of them. One that absolutely stands out among the rest was the story Diablo. That one truly terrified me and made my skin crawl. I was reading one night home alone and when my boyfriend came bursting through the door after work, I jumped sky high. (bad pun?)
And, as I am an avid Stephen King reader and fan, I will say that I picked up this book solely because his name was on the cover and I, obviously, highly enjoyed his story. I also really enjoyed Joe Hill's addition. I could have read so much more of his story and would not complain if he turned it into a full-fledged novel. Truly stunning and terrifying, as always.
The rest of the stories were at best an exciting and hair raising experience and at worst an interesting tale that I probably would not have picked up had it not been included in this anthology. None were persay bad, but many were just average for me.
That all being said, I really enjoy this book and highly recommend it. This is a great addition to any horror geek's shelf and a great venture for anyone else wondering what could possibly happen so high up in the air and so far from having their feet planted firmly on the earth.
