From a Buick 8 employs an intriguing plot that revolves around the police troopers of Pennsylvania State Patrol Troop D, and what at first appears to be a vintage automobile, but whose doors (and trunk) sometimes open to another dimension populated by gross-out creatures straight out of, well, a Stephen King novel . . .
Comprised of flashbacks on bizarre events from decade earlier, From a Buick 8 is a novel about our fascination with deadly things, about our insistence on answers when there are none, and about terror and courage in the face of the unknowable.
"King's stylistic maturity manifests in his sophisticated handling of the round robin of narrators, the sharp portrayal of police ways, and its primary theme: that life is filled with Buick 8s - phenomena that blindside us and that we can never understand." -- Publishers Weekly
