#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ONE OF TIME'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME • In this masterpiece of modern American horror that inspired Stanley Kubrick’s classic film, Jack Torrance takes a job as the caretaker of the remote Overlook Hotel.

“An undisputed master of suspense and terror.” —The Washington Post

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.

Perfect.

This book was the definition of an emotional rollercoaster. You don't just witness the family spiral out of control, you feel it. You feel their relationships, you feel their fear, you feel their love. This book is perfect.

Wow! Absolutely riveting!

I can't sing enough praises for this book. Spellbinding from the first page and kept pulling me into the story with each page turn. The ending is spectacular along with a real lesson in the human condition.

What an amazing book.
