For twenty years the officers in the Pennsylvania State Police Barracks have kept a secret in Shed B. A vintage Buick which lures the troopers to come and take a look.

Young Ned Wilcox, son of the recently deceased officer Curt, has started hanging around the Barracks. One day he can't resist peeking through the windows. And it's time to share the secret.

The veteran troopers sit Ned down on the smoking bench and tell him every skin-curdling detail - from the Buick's arrival to the terrifying light-shows and what it sucks in and breathes out. For the Buick is a conduit to another world.

As King puts it, 'when we confront the deep and authentic unknown, we glimpse that place where our familiar universe stops'.

I've read several reviews of the book (not audio) where people were disappointed because it just dragged, and didn't really connect to the story within a story format.

Listening to the book as an audio performance, with 'characters' doing the storytelling you really do get the feel for what the author was aiming for. Personally I was riveted. I generally only listen in the car and found myself looking for ways to get out and drive, eventually just finishing the book at home while doing some work.

The performance and characterisations were perfect. And the story drew me in as any fireside chat would. It evolves in a very natural way.

While the style might not be everyone's cup of tea I personally loved it, but perhaps may have felt differently if I'd read it rather than listened to it.

Works much better as an audiobook

Not a classic and a little to reliant on folksy little town charm. There’s not a great development or variety in the plot but it’s ok.

Entertaining enough

This was an interesting listen, I wasn't sure which way it was going to go at all and the result was very pleasing. I enjoyed the different performances too, having different narrators for different characters added to the experience. It also made me reflect on the role of cops in the States and the note that policing situations can be very much more life and death than in here in the UK where guns aren't carried as commonly by cops or crims... Tricksey in any country, but a bit more stressful when guns are involved?

Not the most exciting of Mr Kings books but an intriguing story and lends itself well to the radio play style production.

A relaxed read

Unique and so well written, not jump scare horror, but a more subtle type, making an unbelievable story feel as though it could happen somewhere in some small town
