"Christine: All the scare without all the blood"
I've always loved the early Stephen King books. Christine is scary and eerie without all the in-your-face blood and gore of so many of today's "horror" stories. If Edgar Allen Poe had lived in the age of the automobile he might have written Christine.
King's is a "horror" story on two levels. It is not just the tale of a haunted car, but a look at how the experiences of our youth can change our lives....and those of others.
