Synopsis
Echoing CHRISTINE, an earlier novel about a homicidal car, this latest Stephen King tale delves into the psyche of a Buick Roadmaster locked up in the state police barracks. The car is suspected of having something to do with several people's disappearance. In a macabre coincidence, King suffered a near-fatal car accident upon completing the first draft, a point he discusses in the book's afterword.

This book's intriguing plot revolves around the troopers of Pennsylvania State Patrol Troop D, who come into possession of what at first appears to be a vintage automobile. Closer inspection and experimentation conducted by the troopers reveal that this car's doors (and trunk) sometimes open to another dimension populated by gross-out creatures straight out of . well, a Stephen King novel. As the plot progresses, the veteran troopers' tales of these visits from interdimensional nasties, and the occasional "lightquakes" put on by the car, are passed on to the son of a fallen comrade whose fascination with the car bordered on dangerous and creepy obsession.

Hardcover first edition first printing in excellent condition.
