This book has nearly everything you could want in a horror story. I’m sure you all know what it is about so I’ll be brief. King writes the books in amazing language, so it is easy to understand and you can follow it easier than the film.
The family stay in a hotel which is buried on an Indian Burial Ground, and this causes the main man (Johnny) to go mad and go after his family. That’s about it.
It’s a great book though, and the mood and atmosphere is amazing. An essential read for everyone.
