Has got the creepy factor!
Contains spoilers, click to show
I received a copy of the book for Christmas, and it doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the well known creepy factor that Stephen King is known for. Right from the beginning, (if you are well versed with the Shining) you will recognise straight away the ghost that Danny is scared of and think he is just seeing things, until his mum sees the evidence left behind.

Movie Favorite

"It’s very hard for me to pick a favorite Douglas Sirk movie, but ultimately it’s this one, a sumptuous tearjerker with Sirk’s signature cultural critique. The moment when Jane Wyman, after sacrificing her own happiness for her children, receives a television set as a Christmas gift in lieu of their presence shatters me every time. No one understood melodrama like Sirk, or how to sharpen it into the dagger it’s meant to be."

Album Favorite

"I bought it when I was eight in John Menzies in Edinburgh using a record token I'd got for Christmas. ""Madness were this really exciting band who mademe want to jump around. It's stood the test of time and is still a great record. ""It felt great to own my first album and was a responsibility too. Before then I'd only had a bunch of 7in singles and an old Dansette record player."
