The Shining was my first seriously chilling horror book, and it left an amazing impression. I loved every little bit of characterisation and detail about the Overlook. Jack’s slow transformation- his unintentional wiping of his lips, his trance state smashing the radio. None of it felt right to me when I watched the movie the day that I finished the book. Jack’s transformation is obviously a difference but I felt that something else was off.

Besides Jacks transformation, what did you guys think about the creative differences?

People who have consumed both, did you feel similar, and what about the movie? Or did you like the movie more?
