Description

Number one New York Times bestseller and named one of Time magazine’s 100 best mystery and thriller books of all time, this classic of modern American horror served as the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick’s iconic film.

Jack Torrance sees his new role as caretaker of the isolated Overlook Hotel as an ideal opportunity for a fresh start. With the off-season hotel closed, Jack can reconnect with his family and have plenty of time for writing. However, once the brutal winter settles in, the hotel’s hidden and sinister secrets begin surfacing. Soon, the remote and seemingly peaceful location takes on an increasingly menacing character. As dangerous forces gather, only Danny, Jack’s five-year-old son blessed with extraordinary psychic abilities, recognizes that something terrifying lurks within the Overlook Hotel.
