From a Buick 8 is a horror novel by American writer Stephen King. Published on September 24, 2002, this is the second novel by King to feature a supernatural car (the first one being Christine which, like this novel, is set in Western Pennsylvania). According to the book's cover sleeve: "From a Buick 8 is a novel about our fascination with deadly things, about our insistence on answers when there are none, about terror and courage in the face of the unknowable." The title comes from Bob Dylan's song "From a Buick 6".

Review of 'Roadmaster' on 'Storygraph'

There’s several aspects of this storyline and the MC that I really like. The magic is interesting and there are a few moments that kept me reading - excited to see what happens next.

Unfortunately, in the end, I was really frustrated with the direction (or lack of) in the book. There were several individual chapters that seemed like “filler” and after finishing the book, I feel like it was just a waste of time. Too many uncharacteristic changes by the MC that seem to have no value on the plot. I forced myself to finish it, hoping some chapter would pull things together and make me want to read the next one…. I don’t think I’ll be finishing this series.

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.
