A Pennsylvania State Police barracks keeps a strange Buick Roadmaster locked in a shed after discovering that it is not, in any useful sense, a car.

The novel unfolds through memory and testimony as younger listeners inherit the story of the Buick and the deaths, disappearances, and unreal phenomena that gather around it. It’s a grief novel disguised as supernatural Americana, interested in residue, institutional memory, and the way people keep watch over things they cannot explain.

It’s not one of the headline King titles, but this one is for his readers who have a soft spot for the sideways books. It's a first edition, dust jacket missing, otherwise in good condition.
