About this book
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this tour de force from the undisputed King of Horror, a young family confronts an unspeakable evil in the harsh isolation of winter in the Rocky Mountains.
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 when the oppressive winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote . . . and more sinister. As strange and terrible forces gather around the Overlook, the only one to notice is the uniquely gifted five-year-old Danny Torrance—yet the true horror lurking within its walls is beyond human comprehension.
