I don't get how some people believe book Jack was a good person who was just influenced by the hotel. Even before the hotel he was still a bad person just more complex. Not saying he's entirely evil, entirely a bad father or entirely a bad husband, but he did some bad things that definitely make him not a good person.

Also I'm pretty sure the reason the hotel got Jack to try kill Danny is cus Wendy would never let herself hurt Danny no matter what where as Jack did have the power in him to hurt Danny

Also not saying I dislike Jack I just don't think he was a good person even before the hotel.

Also reminder he cheated on Wendy (revealed in Dr Sleep book)

I feel like the main reason people forgive all the bad things he did is cus in the last bit before he explodes he tells Danny he loves him, but that doesn't erase how he wasn't the best father. (I think he's also forgiven due to his traumatic childhood, which I do understand probably influenced his bad behaviour)

what do you think of the novel?

thank you so much for this question, ive been preparing all my life for this

okay so let me start from the beggining. i first read the novel, it was how i got introduced to the shining. it really got me hooked from the first few pages, i was deeply invested in jack especially but i also thought that danny was really special and also wendy was interesting. i couldnt put it down, i adored it all the way through. i felt like alice wandering in wonderland exploring the lore of the hotel and the family, it felt very raw and i just know that stephen king was really going through it while writing it lmao. another thing i loved was jacks unreliable perspective. the way he gradually succumbed to his madness was masterful. i could really feel for wendy and how she was the only responsible adult, even though she wasnt perfect herself, just human. and the parts about danny and his perspective stirred me up from the inside in a way that i didnt know was possible. i just felt like i was little and terrified all over again. i want to give him a big hug and tell him hes going to be okay.

and even though its one of my favourite books ever, i think it has some weaknesses, the biggest one being the ending of course. i dont understand why stephen king doesnt plan his endings in advance and lets his stories end in these utterly bizzare ways that dont do the characters and their arcs justice. i dont think that jack should have died by accident simply because he forgot to check the pressure of that fucking boiler. another thing i want to point out is that stephen king seems to try really hard to make jack likeable in quite a few ways, like having him literally play in a playground like a fucking child and keep repeating how much he loves his family. i think that's mostly him projecting himself onto jack. id argue that in the start of the book he tries to make jack out to be a boy next door like he said in that one interview. im not sure if im a fan of it, i think he should be more critical of someone who got invloved in a hit-and-run DUI, a student beating, the beating of his child and various other crimes that he should be in jail for. these arent slip ups, hes actually a terrible person from the get go, and pretending he isnt just aint it.

again thanks for the question hope i got you covered lol

the chanting music in the shining when wendy is searching for danny is actually so good and matches the mood so welllll

YEAH!! the score of the shining is so deeply underrated. everyone wants to talk about "here's johnny" BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHANTING!!! WHAT ABOUT MASQUERADE!!! WHAT ABOUT ROCKY MOUNTAINS!!! WHAT ABOUT EVERY OTHER SOUND CUE AUGH

wendy and jack as low-poly models ?? im not really sure

[tostmuseum]

this is more related to a clockwork orange but i read a review where a person was complaining about the soundtrack saying it was shit cause of the synthesized beethoven pieces. i was personally offended, i fucking love synthesized beethoven, its genius to me man. beethoven's music is timeless and by synthesizing it they made it into something that works like the perfect bridge between the classic and the modern era. and this is also reflected in the set designs, the fashion, the bright colors and weird chairs. its like an older vision of the future which becomes timeless. dudeeee i love wendy carlos

[tostmuseum]

the shining infection au where everyone gets the Jack Disease

[tostmuseum]

id love to see a version of the kubrick film where the liminal horror is amplified. like we get to see more of the overlapping hallways or impossible architecture. im not talking about remaking it cuz i love it as it is, im talking more like a reimagining just to see what would happen cuz kubrick introduced a great concept. i love to associate it with works from the caretaker, its genius to me to take a horror story abt a troubled possessed guy chasing his family w an axe and associate it w that

[rayette-dipesto]

forget it Jake…….. it’s Toontown

the hideous sketches I did as a concept for the drawing
