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.

AN ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO THE DARK TOWER SERIES--INCLUDING BOOK-BY-BOOK
ANALYSIS AND INSIGHT INTO STEPHEN KING'S CREATIVE PROCESS. In 1970,
Stephen King embarked on what would become the crowning achievement
in his literary career-the Dark Tower. The seven-volume series,
written and published over a period of 30 years, was inspired by
Robert Browning's poem Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came, as
well as J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and the spaghetti
Westerns of Sergio Leone. With the full cooperation of Stephen King
himself, The Road to the Dark Tower examines the epic journey of
the author to complete a story that threatened to overwhelm him. In
this indispensable companion, Bev Vincent presents a book-by-book
analysis of each volume in the series, tracing the Dark Tower's
connections to King's other novels including The Stand, Insomnia,
and Hearts in Atlantis, and offering insights from the author about
the creative process involved in crafting his lifelong work-a work
that has consumed not only Stephen King, but his legion of devoted
readers. This is essential reading for any Dark Tower-or Stephen
King-fan.
