Episode 10 - The Shining Hotel

About this episode

In October 1974, ascendant horror writer Stephen King and his wife spent a night in a cavernous old hotel at the foot of the Colorado Rockies. With the winter barrage of snow and cold looming, the hotel was about to close for the season, leaving King and his wife as its sole guests. After eating in a grand yet empty dining room — with the chairs up on every table except his — and walking through the endless empty hallways, a new novel began to take shape in King’s mind. ⁠ https://allthatsinteresting.com/the-shining-hotel   credits: https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits Learn more about your ad choices.
