About the Book
In Christine, Stephen King delivers a unique blend of supernatural horror and psychological suspense. Arnie Cunningham is a shy, awkward teenager who finds his world upturned after purchasing Christine, a battered 1958 Plymouth Fury that seems to have a life—and a will—of her own. As Arnie devotes himself to restoring the car, Christine’s hold over him deepens, transforming his personality and pulling him into a web of violence. Those close to him—particularly his best friend Dennis and girlfriend Leigh—begin to suspect that Christine is not merely a car but a malevolent force determined to control Arnie completely.
King masterfully weaves themes of obsession, friendship, and loss of innocence, showing how Christine’s power twists Arnie’s life and places everyone around him in danger. This first edition captures the original presentation of King’s story, with its signature mix of tension, eerie supernatural elements, and insightful exploration of character, making it a prized collectible.
