Author

Supernatural horror meets the industrial-age love affair with the automobile—a combination I found irresistible. The novel’s protagonist, a social outcast, finds purpose and connection in his purchase of a piece of modern technology—a 1958 Plymouth Fury—which then proves to be his undoing via supernatural agency: the car is cursed, a receptacle for evil influences.

This also lends the novel an element of pathos without being saccharine or emotionally manipulative. I found this book to be a darkly captivating read.

From Arthur's list on fusion of technology and the supernatural.
