Product details

‘Obviously a masterpiece, probably the best supernatural novel in a hundred years.’
  1. Peter Straub
Jack Torrance is the new winter caretaker of the Overlook, a grand hotel nestled in the isolated Colorado mountains and cut off from civilisation during the harsh cold months. Here, with his wife Wendy and their son Danny, Jack attempts to escape the mistakes of his past and rebuild a life with his family. But the hotel has other ideas. Using Danny's strange precognitive gift – his ’shining’ – the evil that lurks inside the Overlook begins to stir, and take hold.

This edition is stunning and gives the book a character all to itself. It would be so amazing to have this and Doctor Sleep side by side on my bookshelf one day.
