![]() ![]() The car, they discover, is not a car at all. The Buick 8, which resembles a vintage blue 1953 Buick Roadmaster, has been in storage in a shed near the barracks since 1979, when it was left at a gas station by a mysterious driver who then disappeared without a trace. The troopers begin telling Ned about the "Buick 8". The cops, the dispatcher and the custodian quickly take a liking to him. After Curtis Wilcox, a well-liked member of Troop D, is killed by a drunk driver, his son Ned begins to visit the barracks. The novel is a series of recollections by the members of Troop D, a Pennsylvania State Police barracks in Western Pennsylvania. According to the book's cover sleeve's inside front flap: " From a Buick 8 is a novel about our fascination with deadly things, about our insistence on answers when there are none, about terror and courage in the face of the unknowable." The title comes from Bob Dylan's song " From a Buick 6". Published on September 24, 2002, this is the second novel by King to feature a supernatural car (the first one being Christine which, like this novel, is set in Western Pennsylvania). From a Buick 8 is a horror novel by American writer Stephen King. ![]()
