From a Buick 8 - Softcover

'A beautiful excursion into new narrative territory showing an accomplished storyteller making unusual choices and resisting the obvious at every turn...a portal into King's incredible imagination' -- Independent on Sunday 'Excellent on police lore and procedure...enriched by a double plot that shows men ageing, changing and disappearing over two decades...Impressive in its handling of narrative voice and structure as well as character' -- The Sunday Times 'A voice as distinctive as it is compelling' -- Scotsman 'Stephen King is blessed with an apparently inexhaustible imagination and a talent for storytelling that shows little sign of waning. In his hands at least, the art is far from being lost' -- Daily Mail on EVERYTHING'S EVENTUAL 'Still on top of his game...An unusual and disturbing mix that no other modern writer could pull off' -- The Times on EVERYTHING'S EVENTUAL 'Astonishingly good' -- Independent on HEARTS IN ATLANTIS 'Accomplished...unputdownable...his mesmerising best' -- Observer on BAG OF BONES 'King has inspired a whole generation to read. He's made them read good, witty prose...a fabulous teller of stories who can create an entire new world and make the reader live in it' -- Express on DREAMCATCHER

For twenty years the officers in the Pennsylvania State Police Barracks have kept a secret in Shed B. A vintage Buick which lures the troopers to come and take a look. Now young Ned Wilcox, son of the recently deceased officer Curt, has started hanging around the Barracks. One day he can't resist peeking through the windows. And it's time to share the secret. So the veteran troopers sit Ned down on the smoking bench and tell him every skin-curdling detail - from the Buick's arrival to the terrifying light-shows and what it sucks in and breathes out. For the Buick is a conduit to another world. As King puts it, 'when we confront the deep and authentic unknown, we glimpse that place where our familiar universe stops'.
