Hated reading it but just couldn't stop
Redrum...Redrum...Redrum... Stephen King's third novel was definitely a true tale of horror, from the psychotic Jack Torrance as the tangible threat, hunting down his family with a croquet mallet, to the spirits of the Overlook Hotel as the hidden, yet frighteningly present threat, slowly driving the Torrances into madness.
Classic but horryfing

You see, if you bury your DEAD KID and he comes back and kills your best friend and his wife. Maybe, just MAYBE you shouldn't make the same mistake with your WIFE. But in all. This is a great book. Read it when I was 12.
