10/17/23 Open 6-9p. No open containers, please.

Now that Monday has been cast out, here are 2 books to help exorcise other evils. One supposes that "demons" are really aliens and we should seek to communicate, rather than expel them. The other seems to presume that only women can be demon-possessed. Maybe that's why Stephen King's famous fictional Fury was "Christine", instead of Carson.

@BonnettsBooks @bookstodon Wouldn't Henry (as in Ford) be more appropriate? Who else would possess a car?

I'm no Stephen King. I just wanted a male name with "car" in it. I considered Carmine, instead of Carson, but - despite it's macho connotation, via mass media - it has (in my mind) a feminine appearance in print. 😉

Second syllable? I didn't get that far. Too much work for a daily post. 😅

@BonnettsBooks @SteveClough @bookstodon Could go with Edsel. That's the name of a car. 🙂

I don't know what car make/model King wrote into the book, but the film car is a 1958 Plymouth Fury.

Side note: When the film was released, a local multiplex had a crushed car out front. It was rigged with a motion sensor. When activated, the lights would blink and a recording of a sexy female voice would play something like, "Hi. I'm Christine. Do you want to go for a drive?"

This was quite memorable—we didn't often get such promos in Dayton, Ohio.
