Colleen made a comment on Mimi’s review of Gone with the Wind " I've always been mystified at people's blind adoration of the movie. It's one of my least favorites. Give me Jezebel any day. Then I read the novel fi ...more "

Colleen and 16 other people liked Mimi's review of Gone with the Wind: "Read because of its cultural status, threw it straight in the recycling bin after finishing. I usually give books to charity but I have no wish to be in any way implicated in disseminating this kind of racist, right-wing trash. What can I say abou..." Read more of this review »

Was expecting Rosemary's Baby or Omen from this--but very much not the case. This first volume focuses more on the supernatural aspects of 16 year old Sadie giving birth to the antichrist (and all the earthquake aftershocks) and the first assassin se ...more

A very nice surprise was the opening short story to this anthology--a new Joe Ledger adventure! One that takes place after the events of Deep Silence, which I just read, so that kicked off this book with a nice bang. A mix of stories--some I really l ...more

Read the bulk of this while traveling on an airplane as intended--and while a solid collection of 17 stories, definitely not a definitive collection of horror set aboard planes. I think all the authors are white (predominantly American) men, so there ...more
