About this title

Synopsis

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
the masterpiece of a well known writer with no readers...

Finally, after more than 40 years, the writer Jack Torrance finds a publisher who wants to bring to the public his final work, written inside the Overlook Hotel, during the last cold winter of his life...

About the Author

Actually, we know very few things about him...
This is the first book (and the only one...) written by Jack Torrance, who accepted the job of the winter caretaker at the "Overlook Hotel" which always gets snowed in during the cold season.
While his family looked around the hotel during closing day, the psychic hotel cook discovered the psychic abilities of Jack' s son Danny, and Danny's ability to detect ghostly presences in the hotel.
In the cook's family, this ability was called "the shining"‘.

When the hotel became snowbound,
Jack Torrance was driven mad by the ghosts in the hotel,
but he began to write his masterpiece: the book you are holding at this very moment...

128 pages of nothing than "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".

A must have for the true fan.
