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.

A great classic by the master of horror.
If you have not read this yet, you should. Unless you prefer more sedate less twisted reads.

This is a great book. Nothing like the movies. Only a few characters so they are well developed.
It is a good book for the young adults. I read it a couple of times as a young teen.
