Publisher’s Description
Jack Torrance’s new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he’ll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote . . . and more sinister. And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old.
Quotes from The Shining
Sometimes human places, create inhuman monsters.
Monsters are real. Ghosts are too. They live inside of us, and sometimes, they win.
The tears that heal are also the tears that scald and scourge.
Living by your wits is always knowing where the wasps are.
Movie Trailer for The Shining (1980)
