Great quiz @Mi-Amigo.

The Overlook hotel!? Still makes me shudder, as well as the follow on book Doctor Sleep (about the son, now an adult). 😓

Thank you @pgn @MI5 @Cleoriff

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

@Cleoriff I must admit that although I love Stephen King`s horror books I`ve not read Doctor Sleep so will have to add it to my "must do" list 😁 .

TBH @Mi-Amigo, I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I tend to find the sequels aren't as good. However, The Shining (book) came out in 1977 and Doctor Sleep was published in 2013.

This gave the child Danny, time to grow up as it came out 36 years later. 😂

Not shocked at that score. Art never was a strong point.

Well done everyone, and thanks @Mi-Amigo
