![]() He has an older, richer, well-connected friend who’s also a recovered alcoholic this friend got him the job when he seemed unemployable. The subject is Jack Torrance, an alcoholic wannabe writer, who’s about to lose both his temper and his job as an English teacher at a private boys’ school on the East Coast. To start, I’m going to give you an extremely shortened version in case you’ve never read The Shining. I’ll give you a hint: “Who rang that bell?”) Figure 2 – Miniseries The Shining title card It’s okay if you don’t get this reference. ![]() Don’t get me wrong, I like the Kubrick version, but let me be clear: it’s not Stephen King‘s The Shining, it’s Stanley Kubrick‘s The Shining, which is a horse of a totally different colour. After thinking fairly hard-well, as hard as I usually do-about the book and its video representations, I decided to review the TV mini-series from 1997 and talk about all the stuff around it, like the aforementioned Kubric opus. Well, Halloween’s coming up, and I thought I’d take the next couple of columns to look at some Halloween-related genre stuff. ![]() It’s Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance in the Stanley Kubrick version of Stephen King‘s The Shining. Practically everyone who reads and goes to movies in our genre (whatever that is) knows the face in Figure 1. ![]() ![]() Their accounts were dismissed as the ‘wild female imagination’ and were told that it was the devil punishing them, until one night one of the men is caught in the act.

The men would feed an animal anaesthetic through their windows in the middle of the night to ensure they would not wake whilst they were raped and assaulted. ![]() What occurred between this period was the rape and assault of over a hundred women and girls by the hands of the men in the colony, the youngest victim being only 4 years old.

That wasn’t a guarantee as I am not a huge fan of first-person, although King is one of the best at it as he NEVER cheats the form. I loved every page of his last Hard Case Crime novel Later. ![]() That is not to say that have not enjoyed any of the recent output. The Dead Zone and Misery are prime examples. That is why my favorite King novels are the ones with fixed endings, where he had no choice but to drive to that moment. They know exactly the story they are telling and where they are going. ![]() I like to be in the hands of a storyteller completely in control. Uncle Steve likes the story to surprise him and in that sense, the books he starts and finishes often are very different. That said as we both grew older our tastes separated. The early books are foundational story experiences for me. ![]() I am still a constant reader because of that respect even though our tastes in storytelling have changed a lot in our life-long author-reader relationship. I know he is the bestselling author on the planet and doesn’t need my validation and I would have to buy a metric ton of advertising to get five minutes of his sales for my books. I respect the hell out of the writer and the human being even more so. Let start by saying I always root for Stephen King. ![]() ![]() The second short story in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle that I have been reading on Wattpad, is The Red-Headed League. “It is quite a three pipe problem, and I beg that you won’t speak to me for fifty minutes.” ![]() But after only four weeks the office mysteriously closes, and no-one has heard of the Red-Headed League, nor the man Wilson was interviewed / managed by.

The following morning, he followed the directions from the advert and joined a long line of red-heads applying for the job. He wasn’t sure, thinking it was too good to be true, but acquiesced. He explains that his assistant encouraged him to respond to advert in the paper offering very well-paid work to red-headed male applicants. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson receive a visitor, Jabez Wilson, a man with a shock of red hair. ![]() ![]() ![]() Federal prosecutors allege Holmes and co-conspirator Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani swindled hundreds of millions of dollars from investors while knowingly misleading doctors and patients with claims of revolutionary blood-testing technology.

Mosley testified that Holmes was looking for "high-quality families" to invest. "He said it would be terrific if you would take the time to learn about the company and give me your views on it."

The secondary characters are as fleshed out as the main ones, something that many authors don’t do. This is a very well written historical novel, full of vivid descriptions and flashes of poetry, such as one soldier’s thoughts before a battle, “They’d all die here in this grey dark, this fog that smothered the field like a shroud.” The characters are sharply drawn, their personalities distinct: the vengeful wrath of Marguerite d’Anjou, the haughtiness of Elizabeth Woodville, the sneaky opportunistic Duke of Clarence, the devotion of Francis Lowell. The title can be a metaphor for many things in this book, but is most obviously taken from the emblem of Edward IV after the natural phenomenon of a parhelion, in which ice crystals in the air gives the optical illusion of 3 suns, occurred during a decisive battle early in his career. ![]() ![]() Richard III Week:The Sunne in Splendor by Sharon Kay Penman ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I love all of you and appreciate everything you do for me and my books.
