“Here's the thing about Stephen King.
... He scares the bejeezus out of me.
Seriously. So, I'm going to tell you a story about picking this book up. No joke at all. This is what happened.
I picked up The Shining around 9pm at night. I wanted to read, it was there, it needed to be read. But I'd heard horrors about Anthony Hopkins and that hotel in Colorado and.. I wanted to be able to sleep. So I told myself - I'll read 'til it gets scary.
150 pages later, I thought.. huh, this isn't that bad. I'll keep reading...
Then my mind began to process everything coming through it and OH MY GOSH I COULD NOT CLOSE MY EYES.
I fully expected lots of gore, lots of slashing madness, but what I didn't expect was the psychological impact something like a shaking elevator, or locking someone in a walk-in fridge would do to me. My hands were SHAKING as I read the book, but.. to be honest, it was a lot of fun and I can't wait to muster the courage to dive into my next Stephen King adventure - "It".”
