Christine is a horror novel by American writer Stephen King, published in 1983. It tells the story of a car (a 1958 Plymouth Fury) apparently possessed by malevolent supernatural forces. In April 2013, PS Publishing released Christine in a limited 30th Anniversary Edition.[1]
King has said that he got the inspiration for the story one night while driving when he saw the numbers on his car's odometer go from 9999.9 to 10,000, which led him to think of the idea of an odometer that ran backwards, thus making the car "younger" instead of older.[2]
