From a Buick 8
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`.
A beautiful excursion into new narrative territory showing an accomplished storyteller making unusual choices and resisting the obvious at every turn... a portal into Kings 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
