Bookroo's summary
Jack Torrance takes a job at the secluded Overlook Hotel, hoping for a fresh start with his family. As winter's grip tightens, the hotel reveals its dark secrets. Only Danny, his gifted young son, senses the malevolent forces gathering. Can they escape the hotel's sinister hold, or will its horrors consume them all?
From the publisher
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Before Doctor Sleep, there was The Shining, a classic of modern American horror from the undisputed master, Stephen King. 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.
