Getting ready for some holiday travel? Let's hope you don't have the same experience as the airline passenger in Richard Matheson's short story, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet." Made famous in the Twilight Zone episode starring William Shatner, this is the story of Bob Wilson, a salesman recovering from a recent nervous breakdown, who becomes convinced that a monster only he can see is tampering with the engines on the wing of the plane he is flying in. Unfortunately, when anyone else looks, the creature disappears! Of all of Matheson's novels and short stories, none comes closer to sheer paranoid terror than this classic thriller.
