pickI‘m with Stephen King on this one. The book is way better than the movie. In the book, Jack Torrence‘s journey into madness is eventual. He‘s a recovering alcoholic who is trying to better himself for his wife and son. The Overlook Hotel, where he is the caretaker for the winter months, has a different plan for him…and it‘s not good. #SeriesLove2024 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
Years ago, the haunted Overlook Hotel nearly broke young Dan Torrance‘s sanity, as his paranormal gift, “the shining, opened a door straight into hell. Now Dan is all grown up, but the ghosts of the Overlook kept him drifting aimlessly for most of his life. He eventually meets 12 year old Abra Stone, whose shine is even more powerful. They find their lives in sudden jeopardy from a murderous group called the True Knot.
Getting ready for my first trip to Maine…
Jack Torrance‘s new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the old hotel, he‘ll have plenty of time to reconnect with his family and work on his writing. But as the harsh winter 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.
1. Had to help with fixing the rain gutter yesterday. Like to get my daily writing word count up, and try to catch up on reading goals.
2. My porch, lawns, cars, and houses.
3. Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Been warmer with more sun for a couple days. Right now it‘s around 70°.
4. Should be finishing this today.

Always great to have my sister closer again.
so-soThree years have passed since I've read volume four, but I didn't have any troubles finding back into the story. This speaks for Stephen King ans his ability to create unforgettable characters and stories. Still, I guess my big King phase is over, since I'm not sure I would continue reading The Dark Tower series if it wasn't for Oy. Yes, I read the whole books solely because of that Billy-Bumbler.
