The Shining: Where the Guests Are Dead and the Heating Is Worse.

from Unserious Book Reviews · host Unserious Book Reviews

Jack Torrance, a writer with anger issues, brings his family to his winter caretaker job at the Overlook Hotel, a place with more ominous vibes than a clown convention held at midnight. Fortunately, the hotel chef notices Jack’s son Danny has psychic ability – “the shining” – and casually warns him that the Overlook is full of bad leftover energy, but that he should just… avoid the scary bits. Unfortunately for them all, the hotel has other plans – specifically, nudging Jack little by little toward “unhinged homicidal maniac.”What follows is a spectacularly stressful game of hide-and-seek through the hotel, and an inter-family “argument” of ginormous and terrifying proportions.=====================================Find more of our Unserious Book Reviews on our website http://unseriousbookreviews.com/Instagram: @unseriousbrBluesky: @unseriousbookrvws
