Come close,children,and see the living crocodile. A vintage'54 Buick Roadmaster.At least,that's what it looks like . . .There is a secret hidden in Shed B in the state police barracks in Statler,Pennsylvania.A secret that has drawn troopers for twenty years - terrified yet irresistibly tempted to look at its chrome fenders,silver grille and exotic exhaust system.Young Ned Wilcox has started coming by the barracks:mowing the lawn,washing the windows,shovelling snow; it's a boy's way of holding on to his father - recently killed in a strange road accident by another Buick.And one day Ned peers through the windows of Shed B and discovers the family secret.Like his father,Ned wants answers.He deserves answers.And the secret begins to stir . . .

MEDIA REVIEWS
One of his freshest and most original books...a beautiful excursion into new narrative territory,showing an accomplished storyteller...a portal into King's incredible imaginationA fabulous teller of stories
Stephen King
We celebrate the author known to many as the father of modern horror. For a generation of readers,Stephen King is the voice of the underbelly of small-town America,having made his name as the author of cult classics (with an equally strong legacy of film adaptations) including Carrie,The Shining,The Green Mile,The Stand,Pet Sematary,IT,Under the DomeandThe Tommyknockers. If there's an author who knows how to mine the dark recesses of the human imagination,it's King.
