A charming look at humanity through the eyes of a character with only an academic (and not terribly accurate) understanding of it. Though the writing occasionally seems a touch drunk on its own sense of wonder, the full effect is still a hopeful story that leaves you feeling like maybe our species isn’t so bad, after all.

A classic in the horror genre for a reason. Differs starkly from the movie in several key ways, most notably that the reader spends a significant amount of time inside Jack’s head, witnessing his struggle with the Overlook and the evil energy within it. A dark and tense thrill ride, even when you know what’s coming.
