Synopsis
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE 'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME * Before Doctor Sleep, there was The Shining, a classic of modern American horror. Jack Torrance takes a job as the caretaker of the remote Overlook Hotel. As the brutal winter sets in, the hotel's dark secrets begin to unravel. "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., 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

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.

    A Wonderful Read

    I should have bought this wonderful book many, many years ago. I've been informed over the years to read the book because I love the movie. The book is even better which is saying a ton since the movie is a masterpiece. Thank you, Stephen King!

    The Movie Is Great And The Book Is Excellent, No Wonder Stephen King Is The Master Of Horror.

    This is an excellent book, that I recommend you read before watching the movie. The Book arrived in great condition, and it's one that will keep you glued from beginning to end.

    Great story... Can't stop reading/watching this creepy a** tale...

    What a great book/movie (watched the movie at least 15 times)... Still in the middle of the book, but wow. The book truly shows insight into the story. The movie shows the visuals we all had in our minds. The book shows us what we truly couldn't fathom in the minds on the the protagonists.

    Very good book

    Enjoying the book immensely! So much more then the movie. Even more then what I readout about the book being so much more then the movie. The book itself I bought was clearly used but in good condition.
