Near fine early trade printing in same first edition wrapper. A benchmark in the literary career of Stephen King and his third published novel following Carrie and 'Salem's Lot. The Shining stands as a cultural icon of modern horror, a searing study of a family torn apart, and a nightmarish glimpse into the dark recesses of human weakness and dementia. The Overlook Hotel claimed the most beautiful setting of any resort in the world, but the Torrance family saw much more than its splendor. Danny, blessed - or cursed - with a shining, precognitive gift saw visions hideously beyond the comprehension of a small boy. For Jack, Wendy, and their young son it is a place where past horrors come to life. And where those gifted with the shining do battle with the darkest evils. This tale of a troubled man hired to care for a remote mountain resort over the winter, slowly but steadily unfolds as secrets from the hotel's past are revealed, and the hotel itself attempts to claim the very souls of the Torrance family. "YOU'RE THE CARETAKER, SIR. YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE CARETAKER. I SHOULD KNOW, SIR. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE. " Rare tangible. 447 pages. 5 3/4" x 8 1/2" design. Printed in the U.S.A. Insured post.

SEX, RightÓÓ In ÔEyes Wide ShutÕ the orgy scene was led - - - if you paid attention - - - by the three major religions. The costumes were that of a Rabbi, priest, and minister & the one thing that stuck out above all, were some of the loveliest high hipped full boobed (Is there such a word) beauties that ever graced the screen and were nude with full frontal nudity. In your face religion. Stanley got his revenge at Religious hypocrisy.
