Little Danny Torrence can read thoughts, and the stories in his
father's mind scare him nearly to death. Stephen King's 1977 classic
follows Danny's family through a terrifying winter as they care for a
deserted Colorado hotel whose history is anything but bucolic. Campbell
Scott brings a refreshing perspective to the spooky story. Understated,
yet fully engaged, he changes point of view between Danny and his
parents, leading the listener effortlessly. Scott colors the secondary
characters with slight shades of regional accents, bringing them to
life without overperforming them. His detached, choppy rendering of
horrors from the hotel's past contrasts with his effusive illustration
of its present, wringing every drop of terror from both.
