The events of this novel take place in the fictional hotel “Overlook,” located in the Rocky Mountains in the state of Colorado. The Torrance family—who have come to look at the luxury hotel with a scandalous reputation during the winter season—are awaiting trials that sometimes go beyond all common sense.
All of winter guests leave the hotel—except for the ghosts, and the most unimaginable nightmares become real. Midnight-black horror rules over a snowbound, cut-off-from-the-world hotel. And woe to those who will have to face, face-to-face, souls risen from Hell—because the ghosts will kill again and again!
