From A Buick 8: Stephen King
$10.00There'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. None of which works - because the power of the Buick is not turbo-charged or fuel-injected. It's a conduit to a world beyond and lets the curious officers know by its fantastic light shows - and its terrifying feeding times. Young Ned Wilcox is equally entranced - Ned who comes to the barracks to mow the lawn and wash the windows in an effort to hold onto his father, killed in the line of duty in a road accident with another Buick. Ned can feel it pulling him, calling him to come and have a look. Ned's father wanted answers, and so does Ned...Cover art by Larry Rostant.
