About this listen

“B-B-B-B Bad…Bad to the bone….”

Packed with interviews from director John Carpenter, screenwriter Bill Phillips, producer Richard Kobritz, stars Keith Gordon and Alexandra Paul, plus various members of the cast and crew including co-composer Alan Howarth and SFX artist Roy Arbogast, Hell Hath No Fury: The Making of Christine is a definitive look at the 1983 cinematic adaptation of Stephen King’s terrifying novel about the eponymous demonic Plymouth Fury and the obsessive teenage boy who loves her.

Author Lee Gambin examines Carpenter’s film by exploring themes such as possession, gender politics, sexuality, the use of rock’n’roll, the complexities of varied relationships, class resentment, the landscape of suburbia, the alienation felt during teenage years, and more, including a recurring coverage of cars in film (both supernatural and not).

Loaded with production notes, this book is essential for all John Carpenter fans, Stephen King devotees, horror-film enthusiasts, and for anyone who can remember their first car. So buckle in and take a ride and remember: “Rock'n'roll is here to stay! It will never die!”

First: The narrator is absolutely abysmal. I have endured many a narrator that other listeners have dubbed intolerable, but this one broke me. He sounds as if he only decided to learn how to read during the course of reading this audiobook. Words have strange pronunciation, punctuation is a mere suggestion and almost everything seems to catch him by surprise. Not to mention the fact that it sounds like he recorded it on his phone in his living room. The sound of a computer mouse clicking and scrolling can be heard throughout, along with laughter and conversations somewhere in the background.

As for the book itself, it's a deeply unfortunate missed opportunity. The opening scene of the movie is described so many times I lost count, with the most atrocious and confusing "reaching" in terms of symbolism and meaning of the most banal moments. I don't know who the hell this author was trying to impress, or will impress, but I don't want anything to do with either party. Christine and all parties involved in the production deserve a better treatment than this author and narrator.
