Thought I'd share these images from THE SHINING: A VISUAL AND CULTURAL HAUNTING, put out by Rough Trade Books. It's a fantastic collection of analysis, ephemera, trivia, and photos.
These three look like they're off to have an exciting new adventure! Hope they have a wonderful time spending time with one another and taking a break from the rest of the world! 🤔😜
In 1966, Stanley Kubrick expressed a desire to make the world's scariest movie. “Later,” Kubrick’s wife Christiane said, “he decided he was going to make a horror film so scary that he would advertise it by saying, ‘You can get your money back if you can sit all the way through.’" In this extract from their book, "Kubrick: An Odyssey," excerpted in LitHub, Robert P. Kolker and Nathan Abrams tell the story of his search for a horror story to tell, and how he found "The Shining."

What if "The Shining" is s book about shadow puppets? One's inner light illuminating the evil in another. The clarity of youthful innocence versus the corrupting cynicism of adulthood?
Any genre-lit fans out there with thoughts on this idea?
