Stephen King is afraid of airplanes and wants to share his fear of flying with you, along with Bev Vincent. Therefore, we welcome you to Turbulence Ahead, a collection of short stories about all the things that can go unbelievably wrong when you fly at 30,000 feet, hermetically sealed in a metal tube with hundreds of strangers.

A poem and sixteen classic stories – from authors such as Arthur Conan Doyle, Ray Bradbury, Roald Dahl, and others – showcase the myriad ways a journey in the skies could turn into a nightmare. The collection also features two NEW stories by Stephen King and Joe Hill published for the first time.

As King said: "The perfect reading when the plane you’re on is trying to land amid a storm… But even if you’re reading it while firmly on the ground… BUCKLE UP!"

Stephen King is one of the most significant authors of our time.
