The Shining

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.

I love reading this book every year as it changes how I view life and reminds me that every person is living in a world differently than how each is viewed from the outside.
Another great SK story. Felt for the dad though battling his demons But the story was well written and detail made for a very good visual.
