Books like From a Buick 8 by Stephen King
Stephen King presenta en *From a Buick 8* una historia de terror psicológico y policial centrada en un Buick 1954 que, tras una visita de un extraño a una gasolinera, desaparece y es recuperado por la policía. Pero la máquina no funciona como un automóvil ordinario: su radio y teléfono fallan, la puerta trasera se abre sola y produce relámpagos y objetos inexplicables, lo que sitúa a los agentes en una situación cada vez más inquietante. La trama sigue el trabajo de la policía mientras el buick aparentemente influye en eventos mortales, incluido el asesinato del agente Wilcox, y el hijo del agente fallecido llega en 2001 para descubrir la verdad sobre el automóvil. El relato combina suspense, horror y temática de vehículos con vida propia, todo con el sello distintivo de la narrativa de King.

Preceded by: [The Talisman][1]
Black House is a horror novel by American writers Stephen King and Peter Straub. Published in 2001, it is the sequel to [The Talisman][1]. This is one of King's numerous novels that tie in with the Dark Tower series. Black House was nominated to the Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel.
The novel is set in Straub's homeland of Wisconsin, rather than in King's frequently used backdrop of Maine. The town of "French Landing" is a fictionalized version of the town of Trempealeau, Wisconsin. Also, "Centralia" is named after the nearby small town of Centerville, Wisconsin, located at the intersection of Hwy 93 and Hwy 35.
