    Cortney Skinner's illustrations for each story are amazing.

    Steve and I also interviewed each other for the digital download version of the audiobook. I wrote a blog post about my experience recording my Afterword.

    I hope the case for the CD Lettered edition is a bit more fancy.

    The Matheson story is a real classic. I was familiar with it only via the great Twilight Zone episode but had never read it before. In looking through the TZ episodes trying to find that one again, it was interesting to note how many Twilight Zone episodes dealt with flight.

    The Joe Hill story is pretty good. Even though it had obvious political overtones it wasn't overtly biased. King's story was interesting. Certainly had a unique premise (and no dog walking). It occurred to me in reading it how safe commercial flights have become. I can't remember the last airline disaster in the US which is somewhat surprising given the corporate greed of the airlines that have cut back almost every available service. Factor in weather, human and mechanical error and it is a modern marvel how safe air travel is. The only real positive, but a big one, for commercial flights these days which is otherwise torture.

    These days, we hear more about the human factor -- people doing crazy things on board airplanes -- than about mechanical issues. That features in a number of our stories, including the Matheson story, where if you accept there's no gremlin, it's just a guy going crazy.

    One thing I especially liked about Joe's story is how even-handed it is. We see each character from someone else's perspective and then from his or her own.

    According to the S&S page, their version includes a conversation between you and Steve?
    Is that an audio exclusive?

    It's not on the compact disc version, only on the digital download. (I say "compact disc" to avoid confusion with CD!)

    Why would EW say it’s an audio exclusive? That’s inaccurate.

    Thanks -- glad you enjoyed it! Once I came up with the title, I had to figure out a way to write a story that lived up to it!
