From the Back Cover

"Jack, just make yourself at home..."

For almost four decades, viewers have crept with the Torrances through Overlook corridors and run through its maze. Now in the largest collection of new and reprint interviews, essays, and reminiscences on Stanley Kubrick's The Shining to date (along with unseen photographs), we can discover who or what else moved beside us.

Crafting the ultimate slow-burn movie out of 1.3 million feet of film (and tempting Shinologists to scry its hidden messages), Kubrick and team abandoned a traditional arc and classical three-act structure for something altogether different, affecting, and lasting. Editor Danel Olson invites cast, crew, and film scholars to explain how. An illuminating introduction from acclaimed Oscar-winning writer/director/producer Lee Unkrich ushers the discussion, asking why the snowbound story still means so much for pop culture, filmmakers, and us.
