Mile 81 is Stand by Me meets Christineâ��the story of an insatiable car and a heroic kid.At Mile 81 on the Maine Turnpike is a boarded-up rest stop, a place where high school kids drink and get into the kind of trouble high school kids have always gotten into. Itâ��s the place where Pete Simmons, armed only with the magnifying glass he got for his tenth birthday, finds a discarded bottle of vodka in the boarded up burger shack and drinks enough to pass out. Not much later, a mud-covered station wagon (which is strange because there hadnâ��t been any rain in New England for over a week) veers into the Mile 81 rest area, ignoring the sign that says â��closed, no services.â�� The driverâ��s door opens but nobody gets out. Â Â Â Â By the time Pete Simmons wakes up from his vodka nap, there are half a dozen cars at the Mile 81 rest stop. But two kids and a horse are the only living things left...unless you maybe count the wagon. With the heart of Stand By Me and the genius horror of Christine, Mile 81 is Stephen King unleashing his imagination as he drives past one of those road signs.Â Â Â Â In the bonus story â��The Dune,â�� originally published in Grantaâ��s October 2011 horror issue, retired Florida Supreme Court Judge Harvey Beecher tells his lawyer about a mysterious sand dune on an unnamed island a short distance off the Gulf coastline of his familyâ��s property.

Traveling to the island became a daily addiction for Harveyâ�¦and now his lawyer is about to discover the shocking reason why.
