It turns out the car is driving itself to protect Arnie, and then repairing itself completely afterwards. And, to further complicate matters, Leigh and Dennis begin a relationship.
Then some deaths involving an unknown car start to occur. Arnie's girlfriend Leigh almost dies in the car as well. But…Īrnie starts to take on some of Roland's characteristics and Dennis discovers some of the history of the car, including some tragic deaths involved. Over the next period of time, Arnie does the car up and gets a girl. Roland, the current owner, is a bit of a terrible man, but Arnie buys the car. Out driving, they see an old, run-down Plymouth Fury for sale. Quick synopsis (spoiler alert!): Arnie Cunningham is a bit of a loser, while his best friend (maybe his only friend), Dennis is a jock. My very modest success thus far can be attributed, at least in part, to Mr King and his fine works.
While I know I will never write as well as him, he keeps me writing and trying to sell my stories. I think the only book I've read as often is King's On Writing and Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.Īs you may have guessed, Stephen King is my favourite author. I read it again in the early 2000s, and the last time was in 2016. I re-read it a few years later and still loved it. This is a book that struck me from the first time I read it, which would have been about 1985 or so. I have a feeling even King himself is not overly keen on it, considering he wrote another haunted car tale – From A Buick 8 – in 2002. I think I am the only person in the world who has this as their favourite book (at least, that was the impression I got when I last mentioned it).
