Flight or Fright

At a dinner with friends, before a screening of The Dark Tower in Bangor, Maine, Stephen King brought up how much he hated flying. This sparked a conversation about various stories on the fear of flying, and other horrors that can happen in flight. King said "there [has] never been a collection of flight-based horror stories [...] someone ought to do the book", to which Richard Chizmar responded "I would, in a heartbeat." This discussion prompted King and Bev Vincent to collect and edit Flight or Fright, with Chizmar publishing it under Cemetery Dance Publications. == Stories ==

Publishers Weekly called Flight or Fright "a strong anthology full of satisfying tales", saying it "will have the reader thinking twice about flying." Becky Spratford of Booklist said, "Whether readers take it to the airport or read it with feet firmly planted on the ground, Flight or Fright delivers on its promised theme and will make the next plane ride a little more exciting." == See also ==
