Probably King's masterpiece: I can't think of anywhere else he combines iconic horror imagery with such deep characterization and themes. Jack Torrance's dissolution is such a well-written tragedy -- unlike in the meaningless Kubrick movie, you really like him in this book, and you feel how much he loves his son. But the yoke of his addiction is stronger in the end (and that's much scarier than rotting ghost women with -- gasp! -- saggy tits).

I want you all to know, I showed very great restraint here, not turning this review into a long rant about the Kubrick film. Please clap.

Definitivamente King es el maestro del terror. Con una magnifíca ambientación y unos personajes delineados a la perfección, el autor nos sumerge en una historia paranormal, de la cual no dudas ni un segundo. Además de mezclarlo con terror psicólogo. King logra una atmósfera tan cargada en ese hotel perdido en una montaña, que tú te vuelves parte de él y por un momento sientes lo que pasa allí.
