Summary: A boy's state patrolman father dies and the boy starts hanging out at the station where his dad worked. HE finds out that the police barracks have an old "Buick" hidden in a shed behind the place and it does some freaky stuff. It lets out the occasional creature or weird plant. It has a strange attraction and at least 2 people have disappeared into it. The boy, Ned, eventually gets the story out of the old troopers about where they got the "car" and his father's obsession with it.
My Thoughts:
Awesome Stephen King book. It's not a straight forward story though, there is no clean ending as the storytellers often point out.
Trivia:
A supposed movie is in the works with Tobe Hooper as the director. He also did Poltergeist and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
