From a Buick 8

Book • 2002
The novel revolves around a supernatural Buick Roadmaster discovered by Pennsylvania State Troopers Ennis Rafferty and Curtis Wilcox in 1979.

The car, which appears normal but has numerous anomalies, is stored in a shed behind the barracks.

Over the years, strange occurrences and disappearances are linked to the car, which is believed to be a portal to another dimension.

The story is told through the recollections of the troopers to Curtis's son, Ned, who becomes entangled in the mystery after his father's death.

The novel explores themes of fascination with deadly things, the insistence on answers when there are none, and the courage in the face of the unknowable.
