<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Jack Torrance sees his stint as winter caretaker of a Colorado hotel as a way back from failure, his wife sees it as a chance to preserve their family, and their five-year-old son sees the evil waiting just for them, as they journey into a world in which old horrors come to life to destroy the living. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>Before <i>Doctor Sleep, </i>there was <i>The Shining, </i>a classic of modern American horror from the undisputed master, Stephen King. </b> <p/>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. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "A master storyteller." --<i>Los Angeles Times</i> <p/>"Scary! . . .
