In 1999, Stephen King released his first novel in a decade, From A Buick 8. The book is narrated by various different people who are all stuck in the same car as they go on a road trip. What they don't know is that they are being witness to the end of days.
From A Buick 8: A Novel is a thrill-ride that tells the true story of the people who found and rescued the titular car from an abandoned warehouse in suburban Massachusetts. It's a story about hope and happiness, about finding joy through love and loss.
With a car like the Buick 8, it's hard to make an escape. But when one of the cars in this line is found with a family inside and then another is found on a highway in front of an oncoming semi-truck, David Carver is forced to do something he never expected he'd have to do.
From A Buick 8: A Novel is the first book in a series of Stephen King's famously intense novels about the same characters. These characters are born into a cult and are forced to participate in twisted games for their survival. The audiobook is narrated by some well-known actors.
When young Sal Tenner meets Arthur "Ace" Merrill, the personable old man who buys him a 1971 Buick 8, he is given an opportunity to escape his small-town life and his local grumpy clique of friends. A chance encounter with Ace leads to a standard-issue school paper on cars, and then another chance encounter with Ace leads to a job at Ace's dealership. From there, Sal becomes involved in a series of events that culminate in the mysterious theft of the Buick 8 from behind the dealership--a theft that no one seems willing to investigate.
