Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

“Redrum," “the twins,” repeated outbursts from the main character — these are all moments in The Shining that will be forever burned into your frontal lobe. Memory, attention span and emotions will be thrown into turmoil as you read one of King’s best. Is this what you want? Yes, it most certainly is what you want.

Situé dans les montagnes Rocheuses, l'Overlook Hotel est tenu pour être l'un des plus beaux lieux du monde. Beauté, confort, luxe, volupté... L'hiver, l'hôtel est fermé, coupé du monde par le froid, la neige, les glaces. Seul l'habite un gardien. Cet hiver-là, c'est Jack Torrance, un alcoolique qui tente d'échapper à l'échec et au désespoir. Il est venu accompagné de sa femme, Wendy, qui espère, grâce à cet isolement, reconstruire son foyer menacé, et de leur enfant, Danny.
Mais Danny possède le don de sentir, de voir, de ressusciter les choses et les êtres à jamais disparus. Dans les cent dix chambres vides de l'Overlook, le démon est omniprésent. Cauchemar ou réalité, le corps de cette femme assassinée, ces bruits de fête qui dérivent dans les couloirs, cette vie si étrange qui anime l'hôtel ?
Le roman culte de Stephen King, qui a fait frissonner des générations entières, arrive enfin en livre audio.

APR/MAY 06 - AudioFile

Little Danny Torrence can read thoughts, and the stories in his father’s mind scare him nearly to death. Stephen King’s 1977 classic follows Danny’s family through a terrifying winter as they care for a deserted Colorado hotel whose history is anything but bucolic. Campbell Scott brings a refreshing perspective to the spooky story. Understated, yet fully engaged, he changes point of view between Danny and his parents, leading the listener effortlessly. Scott colors the secondary characters with slight shades of regional accents, bringing them to life without overperforming them. His detached, choppy rendering of horrors from the hotel’s past contrasts with his effusive illustration of its present, wringing every drop of terror from both.
