I may be the only one that actually liked From a Buick 8. Unlike all of King's other books, this one was much less concerned with plot and "good vs. evil". It touched on humanity's basic terror of the unknown and unknowable, which I think is the most effective form of literary horror. No one I've talked to about this book has seemed to have the same sort of reaction to it as I did. Pity.
