Jack Torrance, his wife Wendy, and their young son Danny move into the Overlook Hotel, where Jack has been hired as the winter caretaker. Cut off from civilization for months, Jack hopes to battle alcoholism and uncontrolled rage while writing a play. Evil forces residing in the Overlook – which has a long and violent history – covet young Danny for his precognitive powers and exploit Jack’s weaknesses to try to claim the boy.

This freaked me out. I am not a great fan of possessed children and I have never been able to get the phrase, “redrum” out of my head. Cujo was another one that stuck with me. He is a great horror writer but I must say that he became a bit twisted with his whole tower series. I could never get into those.

Great choice of book! Stephen King is one of my favorite writers and I’ve read The Shining several times.

Actually I liked the Dark Tower series! But The Shining and The Stand are two of my favorites of his older books.
