    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.

    Would you listen to The Shining again? Why?

    Absolutely, I wasn't completely convinced I would like Campbell Scott's reading of this but he did a fantastic job. I was worried he wouldn't be able to sound menacing enough when required but he did just fine! I was able to soak a lot of detail in that I didn't get reading it. Definitely a great performance!


    What did you like best about this story?

    The detailed characterization, fantastic setting and the slow burn horror King can do so well.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    The scene where Wendy and Jack face off towards the end of the stormy


    If you could rename The Shining, what would you call it?

    The Overlook


    Any additional comments?

    Great reading of a fantastic book.
