Christine

Christine is the classic horror novel by Stephen King, published in 1983. It tells the story of a vintage automobile apparently possessed by supernatural forces. In 1983, the movie version of Christine directed by John Carpenter, and starring Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul, and Harry Dean Stanton was released to theaters. In April 2013, PS Publishing released Christine in a limited 30th Anniversary Edition.

 

Master storyteller Stephen King presents the classic #1 national bestseller of the ultimate vehicle of terror!

“This is the story of a lover’s triangle…It was bad from the start. And it got worse in a hurry.”

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 looks or 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…

    "Christine" deluxe first edition

    Posted by George Parsons on Oct 11th 2023

    Every book I've purchased from VFBs has been beautiful, exactly as pictured, etc. This volume is certainly in the top five. It is absolutely beautiful in every way. One easily forgets it is forty years old by its appearance; it looks new, certainly unread. As always the packing was excellent so the book arrived in perfect condition. The shipping was speedy, sent the day the order was received and arriving two days later. Very Fine Books continues to get my highest recommendation. You will not be disappointed doing business with Emmanuel at Very Fine Books.
