content

At mile 81 of the Interstate 95 highway in Maine is an enclosed rest area where teenagers drink alcohol and do their usual nonsense. Although some signs make it clear that the rest area is closed, a station wagon turns there. It's covered in mud, even though it hasn't rained in New England for over a week, and even if the driver's door opens, nobody gets out. The car attracted the attention of several motorists - some are helpful enough to stop because they suspect it could be a car driver with a breakdown act; with fatal consequences. Anyone walking towards and near the car will be eaten by it. Ten-year-old Pete Simmons, who had slept off an intoxication in the building , aimed his magnifying glass between the sun and the car and, due to the bundled beam, drove it into flight into the sky.

Others

The publication by the publishing house Simon & Schuster is only available as an e-book and an audio book . The first edition of the e-book contains an excerpt from the novel The Stop (in the original 11/22/63 ). In November 2012 the German audio book version was released on three CDs including the short story Die Düne ; the reader is Mechthild Großmann .
