One of my favorite Stephen King books, this one is a bit more like a Twilight Zone episode than the horror that he's known for. An abandoned car is taken in by state troopers, except it turns out to be not a car at all, but a gateway into another world. What I liked about this was the sheer force of mystery. The traditional story arc in most popular fiction is missing. Instead, it's a bunch of folks trying to make sense of the very strange goings on in their garage.
