Wasn't the other one "Something Something a Buick Eight"?
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

From a Buick 8 was an e-book he wrote a while back. It's actually quite good, something I never thought I'd say about a King horror novel again.

It was an e-book? I swear I saw it in a book store. I remember the Buick on the cover....
Of course, I loved Christine when it came out - I read the thing nonstop, cover to cover. Although I did note that Plymouth did not make a four-door Fury in 1958....

I adored From a Buick 8, which is not what I expected. One of the best he's done this decade.

From a blog:
Send the Warp Your Room people an exact plan for your walls, showing where your doors, windows, pictures, and electrical outlets are, and they'll generate a custom wallpaper for you that "warps" the pattern around everything that protrudes through the paper.

It was (I think) an ebook first, then published in hardback.

Yep, From a Buick 8 was the book! IIRC, it was his first book after The Green Mile, so our King fans were happy he had another full-blown book book out.

Pretty much everything he writes eventually gets printed, doesn't it?

Hmmm. I've read Goth: Undead Subculture, and while it was interesting, there were sections that read like I was trapped in a game of academic buzzword bingo.
