One of King's best...It made a terrible movie, but never mind most of his truly great books do. A true SciFi work about the discovery of a long buried space craft and the ghosts it contains within, this harrowing story is both original and unforgettable.
A small town woman with a burned-out alcholic husband discovers what turns out to be just the tip of a gigantic, ancient buried space ship but far from being just a relic this ship is both haunted and alive drinking life itself and changing forever the lives of those who are touched by it.
The plot moves slowly at first as one by one the inhabitants of a small town are eigther subverted or subdued by the ancient power of the ship, but accellerates to an explosive climax.
Such a shame that no director including King can ever get one of his books to translate well to screen.
Regardless, forget the moview, buy the book, especially if you love good SciFi.
