Midnight Christmas Mass

The Flying Machine - 3 Stars

Kind of hard to rate as it is only three paragraphs and half a page long. But, an amusingly cynical take on humanity's desire for flight that leads to throwing caution - in the face of obvious dangers - to the wind.

Nightmare at 20,000 Feet - 5 stars

Probably the best known flight based horror story of all time. A little bit dated due to the changes in flight security since it was written, but still a very good, spooky tale of the anxieties of flying.

The Horror of the Heights - 4.5 stars

What is the most amazing thing about this story is that it was written shortly after flight first became a thing and people and only barely begun to grasp what might be in the air above us. Doyle - who normally regales us with adventures of Sherlock Holmes - probably did a pretty good job of scaring the bajesus out of people who were still not so sure about this new travel.

Cargo - 4 stars

A chilling flight based on real events. Makes you think about who deals with the aftermath of disaster.
