Christine by Stephen King

Mass Market Paperback, 40th Anniversary Edition – Pocket Books – Mar 2023 – 721 pages

It’s love at first sight for high school student Arnie Cunningham when he and his best friend Dennis Guilder spot the dilapidated 1958 red-and-white Plymouth Fury for sale — dubbed “Christine” by its original cantankerous owner — rusting away on a front lawn of their suburban Pennsylvania neighborhood.

Dennis knows that Arnie’s never had much luck in the popularity department, or really taken an interest in owning a car…but Christine quickly changes all that. Arnie suddenly has the newfound confidence to stick up for himself, going as far as dating the most beautiful girl at Libertyville High — transfer student Leigh Cabot — even as a mysteriously restored Christine systematically and terrifyingly consumes every aspect of Arnie’s life.

Dennis and Leigh soon realize that they must uncover the awful truth behind a car with a horrifying and murderous history. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and heaven help anyone who gets in Christine’s way…
