Stephen King is back to his own unique view of the creepy in his novel "From A Buick 8". The Penn Highway patrol impounds a car that the owner leaves at a filling station after the owner disappears. The officers on the seen notice the car is just not right, small details that are not like they should be. They have car return to the post and placed in shed B and then one of the officers disappears. The troop keeps the car from public view and tries to learn what exactly the object that looks like a car is.
The story begins with the death of a Pennsylvania state trooper killed by a drunk driver. Looking for closure his son begins hanging around the barracks doing odd jobs. While cleaning the windows on the shed in back he discovers the car. He ask about it and is told the story of the car and all of the strange happenings involving the car. He witnesses a light quake and the car draws him in much as it did his father. Well the boy goes to college but ends up dropping out and becoming a trooper like his father. He is there to witness the death of the car after nearly losing his life to it just a few years earlier.
The audio book is read by James Rebhorn, Bruce Davison, Becky Ann Baker, Peter Gerety, Fred Sanders, and Stephen Tobolowsky. It is a fascinating tale and the different voice lend color to the story. It will capitvate you and have you wondering why are these people doing this. A revealing look at people facing evil and showing courage in their fear. Listening time is approximately 13 and a half hours and while not one of King's best it is still a good story and I recommend at least listening to it.
