First edition

Christine - Stephen King 1983 Hardback Book with Dust Jacket Hodder & Stoughton Supernatural horror novel centred on a malevolent 1958 Plymouth Fury whose influence consumes the life of its teenage owner, Arnie Cunningham. First issued in 1983, the book is structured in three major parts, beginning with Dennis Guilder’s account of Arnie’s discovery of Christine, the obsessive restoration process, and the first signs of the car’s unnatural behaviour. Mid‑section chapters explore Christine’s violent past, the deaths linked to her previous owner, and the car’s ability to repair itself and exert psychological control over Arnie. The narrative expands into police investigations, escalating confrontations, and the breakdown of friendships as Christine’s power grows. The final section follows Christine’s destructive rampage, the tightening supernatural bond between car and driver, and the desperate attempt to stop her. King blends possession horror, Americana, teenage friendship, and revenge narrative into one of his most iconic early works, making this a key volume for collectors of 1980s horror fiction and Stephen King’s classic period.
