Christine

Christine is a horror novel by Stephen King, published in 1983. The book centers on an old Plymouth Fury, but not as a simple background object. The car has its own presence and supernatural force, and the story builds around the unsettling effect it has on the people drawn into its orbit. It is an English-language novel, and its premise stays tightly focused on one strange thing that becomes more threatening as the book goes on.

It suits readers who like horror built from a clear, compact idea rather than a sprawling setup. If you want a fast entry point into Stephen King, or you are interested in stories where an everyday object turns into the source of dread, this is a good fit. The tone connects naturally to supernatural horror and to stories where the ordinary world starts to feel unsafe.
