Flight or Fright

Matchar årets Blossa fint ;)

En samling noveller som alla handlar om flygningar på något sätt. Är man flygrädd så är inte detta boken man ska läsa. Stephen King är tycker inte om att flyga och har i den här boken tillsammans med Bev Vincent sammanställt noveller som har just temat flygningar, flight or fright.

Vissa noveller är väldigt bra, jag gillar samlingen i sin helhet. Det var ingen bok jag läste från början till slut utan jag läste en novell då och då mellan mina andra böcker.

Gillar nästan Stephen Kings kommentarer mellan novellerna mer än vissa noveller, alltid kul att höra hans personliga tankar om författare och berättelser. Inledningen är bra och intressant.

Finns också som ljudbok med flera uppläsare och kommentarer mellan novellerna upplästa av Stephen King och Bev Vincent.

Bok och fudge, mmmm

"Fasten your seatbelts for an anthology of turbulent tales curated by Stephen King and Bev Vincent. This exciting new collection, perfect for airport or aeroplane reading, includes an original introduction and story notes for each story by Stephen King, and brand new stories from Stephen King and Joe Hill. Stephen King hates to fly. Now he and co-editor Bev Vincent would like to share this fear of flying with you. Welcome to Flight or Fright, an anthology about all the things that can go horribly wrong when you're suspended six miles in the air, hurtling through space at more than 500 mph and sealed up in a metal tube (like - gulp! - a coffin) with hundreds of strangers. All the ways your trip into the friendly skies can turn into a nightmare, including some we'll bet you've never thought of before... but now you will the next time you walk down the jetway and place your fate in the hands of a total stranger. Featuring brand new stories by Joe Hill and Stephen King, as well as fourteen classic tales and one poem from the likes of Richard Matheson, Ray Bradbury, Roald Dahl, Dan Simmons, and many others, Flight or Fright is, as King says, "ideal airplane reading, especially on stormy descents... Even if you are safe on the ground, you might want to buckle up nice and tight." Book a flight for this terrifying new anthology that will have you thinking twice about how you want to reach your final destination. Table of Contents: Introduction by Stephen King Cargo by E.
