Review: Stephen King's Christine is a 1983 horror novel centred on a possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine, and the destructive obsession she inspires in her teenage owner Arnie Cunningham. Set in a small town in Western Pennsylvania, the novel blends coming-of-age drama with supernatural horror, exploring themes of jealousy, transformation, and the corrupting power of obsession. It was adapted into a film by John Carpenter the same year.
