Steven King, a bestselling author, this time again has managed to attract attention to his work called Buick 8. Accepted a long time ago as one of the masters of horror/mystery novels, he brought us another great one, well worth of your time!
Mystery is about the-need-to-make-sense- boy – Ned Wilcox, a
light quaking Buick 8 and a police station in Pennsylvania.
Buick got to the station after a call from the local gas station worker who noticed that whoever drove in the Buick never came back. After a closer inspection, Pennsylvania police officers realize that Buick looks kind of weird. Besides huge steering wheel that looks like a ship rudder, Buick was clean and you could not get dirt on it although it has been raining all day long. Also, there waste fact it didn’t have a discernible engine.
Everybody could see that Buick was up to no good and that soon came true. Buick was taken to the garage where it produced awkward light quakes and it would from time to time create some weird creatures.
After Ned’s father’s
death people from Troop D decided to tell Ned all about Buick and his abilities after witch Ned was pretty sure that it had to do with his father’s death.
In this novel
Stephen King introduced aliens and he surrounded it with mystery and horror. While I was reading the book I could not get rid of the impression that he paid to much attention to describing the aliens which lowered the tension significantly. It was like watching an old horror movie – great script, but no ability to produce better special effects which lowered the enjoyment.
It’s interesting that Stephen King hung out with Pennsylvanian police officers so he could present characters as they are and he succeeded in doing so.
Stephen King is a bestselling author of horror, mystery, suspense,
science fiction and fantasy fiction. The fact is you can’t make a mistake if you decide to read this or any of his other books.
