About this product

Product Information

The state police of Troop D in rural Pennsylvania have kept a secret in Shed B out back of the barracks ever since 1979, when Troopers Ennis Rafferty and Curtis Wilcox answered a call from a gas station just down the road and came back with an abandoned Buick Roadmaster. Curt Wilcox knew old cars, and he knew immediately that this one was...wrong, justwrong.A few hours later, when Rafferty vanished, Wilcox and his fellow troopers knew the car was worse than dangerous -- and that it would be better if John Q. Public never found out about it.Curt's avid curiosity taking the lead, they investigated as best they could, as much as they dared. Over the years the troop absorbed the mystery as part of the background to their work, the Buick 8 sitting out there like a still life painting that breathes -- inhaling a little bit of this world, exhaling a little bit of whatever world it came from.In the fall of 2001, a few months after Curt Wilcox is killed in a gruesome auto accident, his 18-year-old boy Ned starts coming by the barracks, mowing the lawn, washing windows, shoveling snow. Sandy Dearborn, Sergeant Commanding, knows it's the boy's way of holding onto his father, and Ned is allowed to become part of the Troop D family. One day he looks in the window of Shed B and discovers the family secret. Like his father, Ned wants answers, and the secret begins to stir, not only in the minds and hearts of the veteran troopers who surround him, but in Shed B as well....From a Buick 8is 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.

Very well packaged, exactly what I asked for. Great costumer service. My only issue was it took about 10 days for the item to actually come on it’s way, but I believe it was a problem with the shipping company. When it finally shipped, it took about 3 days to come, so very fast. Very well packaged, too.

    Misrepresentative Sales

    When you advertise a Stephen King Red Library edition and you place a photo of a Stephen King Red Library edition - you forfeit the excuse to say that “we sell many, many books, so they may not be the exact edition shown.” This is too specific to be anything but misrepresentation. Advertised very specific edition and sent a basic bookstore edition.

  • From a Buick 8

    I don't listen to reviews of favorite authors before reading a book, and I hope you don't either. Most of the reviews for this particular King offering border on the "two thumbs down" to downright bad. That's not really fair. Compared to some of his classic works, Buick 8 may seem to be lacking in the in-depth character analysis and "bogeys you love to hate" subjects. However, on its own, it's an engaging and interesting read. King is still a top-notch storyteller, something that has absolutely nothing to do with the theme of his books as much as just the kind of writer he is. Meticulous, engaging, entertaining, and always down-to-earth, it's King's style of writing that I have always loved far beyond the "horror" genre it's invariably anchored in. If you like Stephen King, you will like ...

  • Suprisingly a Great Book!

    Soon to be a major motion picture, this book produced more intial judgements than educated reviews when it first came out, reminding people of King's other classic novel Christine. But it is much, much more than that. Told in typical Stephen King fashion, the story takes place in present day, but past "events" are told leading up to the present day conclusion. A very "otherworldly" driven plot keeps you glued to its pages. Suprisingly enough the protagonist of the story is not an author or writer of some kind, but a lowly old town police department faced with unspeakable enough events. It's a really good book and you should give it a chance.

  • Another great book by Stephen King.

    If from a biuck 8 was writen by John Grisom would I have bought it? NO, It was writen by Stephen King who is one of the most famous author there is. Stephen King's other book /movies about cars trucks have been great.After reading about half of this book ,it is no different than the others-great keeps you reading wondering what is going to happen next.So as far as I have read it is another great book by Stephen King.
