From a Buick 8 is the 46th book published by Stephen King; it was his 39th novel, and the 33rd under his own name. The book was released by Scribner on 24 September 2002.

SummaryEdit

The novel is a series of recollections by the members of Troop D, a police barracks in Western Pennsylvania. After Curtis Wilcox, a well-liked member of Troop D, is killed by a drunk driver, his son Ned begins to visit Troop D. The cops, the dispatcher and the custodian quickly take a liking to him, and soon begin telling him about the "Buick 8" of the title. It is in some sense a ghost story in the way that the novel is about a group of people telling an old but unsettling tale. And while the Buick 8 is not a traditional ghost, it is indeed not of their world.

TriviaEdit

• Troop D is actually a state police force in butler, PA. Some others in the area are troop A in Greensburg, Troop B in Washington, and troop C in Punxsutawney.
