King does love his cars, and it's time to visit a classic Buick this month.

Book blurb follows:
From a Buick 8 is a novel about our fascination with deadly things, about our insistence on answers when there are none, about terror and courage in the face of the unknowable.
Shortly after his father, a Pennsylvania state trooper, is killed in a senseless automobile accident, Ned Wilcox discovers that the members of Troop D have a secret concealed behind their headquarters. Curtis Wilcox's friends and colleagues take turns relating the twenty-year history of the mysterious Buick Roadmaster locked in Shed B and how its discovery and unexplained behavior has captivated the tightly knit group of men for two decades. The Buick seems to be a conduit to another reality and every now and then it breathes, inhaling a little bit of this world, exhaling a little bit of whatever world it came from.

The meeting will probably last about 2-3 hours including drinks breaks.

Please look out for any great second hand versions, there are a load of great covers out there - do post them on here and/or bring them along to the meeting!

We will be meeting upstairs at the Prince of Wales pub (though please check this nearer the time in case plans change). Please do not bring in your own food or drink from outside as we rely on the pub letting us book the private room at no cost. The second session on Thursday will be on Zoom so if you are not able to attend in person in London then please RSVP to the second session.
