From A Buick 8 by Stephen King

As you all probably know, I am a huge Stephen King fan. I have been a little slack in reading his books (trying to read other books as well), but I am catching up.
This to me was a sweet novel about a wicked car. The car does horrific things to people, but is a relative quiet soul parked in Shed B at the police station.
The novel starts with the car being driven into a gas station, back in the day, and the attendant asking the driver about gas and oil. The owner says he needs to use the restroom and tells the attendant not to worry about the oil.
The owner never returns to the car. The area is checked, the stream in the back is inspected, no owner. The Buick then becomes the property of the State Police in Pennsylvania. It sits in Shed B and has moments of destruction and production of creatures. The temperature in the shed always goes lower when things are going to happen.
There are certain officers that seem to have more interest in finding out more about the Buick and when things come out of the trunk, have even dissected them to find out more information.
One of those officers is Curt, who ends up dying by being hit by a drunk driver. His son, Ned, then becomes a mascot at the station and wants to know more about the car. He is constantly at the station, doing chores and eventually learning the intercom and handling the incoming calls.
This is where the story takes off. We learn of the history of the doings of the car and all of the officers of the past and present.

I really did like this novel. It doesn't have all the flash and gore that a lot of Mr. King's novels have, but there was a lot of soul in this story. I was so drawn to the characters, each having their own real personality. I really think this novel is so character-driven.
