Product Description

Review

‘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' (Scotsman )

'King has inspired a whole generation to read. He's made them read good, witty prose . . . a fabulous teller of stories who can create an entire new world and make the reader live in it' (Express on DREAMCATCHER )

Product Description

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.

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. 

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'.
