There is a secret hidden in Shed B in the state police barracks in Statler, Pennsylvania. A secret that has drawn troopers for twenty years - terrified yet irresistibly tempted to look at its chrome fenders, silver grille and exotic exhaust system.
Young Ned Wilcox has started coming by the barracks: mowing the lawn, washing the windows, shovelling snow; it's a boy's way of holding on to his father - recently killed in a strange road accident by another Buick.
And one day Ned peers through the windows of Shed B and discovers the family secret. Like his father, Ned wants answers. He deserves answers. And the secret begins to stir . . . --back cover
7/2/21 - listened to the audiobook this time around and I didn't care of it nearly as much as the ebook. I also enjoyed the story less this time...
Rereading with the Mostly Lesfic group!
Just finished and still love it. Same rating as first read.

Really enjoyed this book! See my review at http://reviews.c-spot.net/archives/35
Similar idea to Christine but smoother writing, it does feel more grown up. Very sinister at times, probably not a good book to read whilst taking yer driving test... unless you are learning in an evil car then go ahead and read it.
I read this quite a few years ago now, I do find that King's books tend to blend together a bit over time, probably a bad sign, still I remember falling asleep whilst reading this.
Very surreal, yet pretty real at the same time
