From A Buick 8: Stephen King
$12.00There's a terrifying secret in the shed at the back of the police barracks in Statler, Pennsylvania. It's been there for twenty years - a beautiful Buick that lures its victims, terrified yet tempted, to look at the gorgeous chrome fenders, the silver grille and exotic exhaust system.
