This inhumane place makes monsters out of people
Located in the most charming corner of colourado, the Overlook Mountain Hotel gives the impression of tranquility, especially in winter. Wendy Torrence wants not only to relax there, but also to improve her broken family relationships. In contrast, her husband Jack, a bankrupt teacher and unrecovered alcoholic, took the job of off-season caretaker of the facility as an opportunity to escape life's misfortunes. Neither of them could have imagined the horrors that their five-year-old "enlightened" son Danny would have to face here, with dead guests, shooting mobsters and animated garden decorations appearing in the empty rooms. Is there pure evil lurking here? Maybe, although even their predecessors didn't fare so well on this grim journey.

This is guaranteed to scare you. but it's worth the literally explosive climax.

Stephen King
One of the most widely read American writers of our time, he is considered the "King of Horror". In 1970, he graduated from the University of Maine at Orono with a degree in English and Creative Writing, but it was during his studies that he began to make a name for himself as a short story writer. When he didn't get a teaching job after graduation, he worked in a laundry and supplemented his income by writing for men's magazines. When King's 1974 debut novel Carrie (no. 1992), became a bestseller and opened his access to the world of film (1976). Many of the prolific author's five dozen novels have been adapted into films - most notably 1977's The Shining (no. 1993), which the writer followed up in 2013 with the prose Doctor Spánek, among others. TO, Misery, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and Animal Kingdom. The author does not shy away from the field of crime either: The Edgar Award-winning trilogy about retired detective Bill Hodges (Mr. Mercedes, The Finder's Law, End of Watch, 2014-2016), which was the basis for the Mr. Mercedess starring Brendan Gleeson and Harry Treadaway.
