A car with a history of its own

A battered 1958 Plymouth Fury becomes the focus of Arnie Cunningham’s attention, bringing a sharp change to the high-school student’s confidence and priorities. Set in a suburban Pennsylvania neighborhood, the story links that transformation to the car’s mysterious restoration and murderous past. Arnie’s friend Dennis and transfer student Leigh Cabot are left to confront the danger as Christine takes an increasingly central place in Arnie’s life. The premise turns a familiar object of teenage independence into the source of supernatural horror, with friendship, status, and control woven into the threat.

Book overview

#1 New York Times bestselling author and master storyteller Stephen King's classic tale of an evil car that brings hellish terror to its new owner.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 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...
