                          Some of the most beautiful 
                          resort hotels in the world 
                          are located in Colorado�察�but 
                          the hotel in these pages 
                          is based on none of them。 
                          The Overlook and the people 
                          associated with it exist 
                                         wholly within 
                                         the author's 
                                         imagination。 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    It was in this apartment�察�also�察�that there stood 。。。 a gigantic clock of 
ebony。 Its pendulum swung to and fro with a dull�察�heavy�察�monotonous clang�察�and 
when 。。。 the hour was to be stricken�察�there came from the brazen lungs of the 
clock a sound which was clear and loud and deep and exceedingly musical�察�but of 
so peculiar a note and emphasis that�察�at each lapse of an hour�察�the musicians of 
the orchestra were constrained to pause 。。。 to hearken to the sound�察�and thus 
the waltzers perforce ceased their evolutions�察�and there was a brief disconcert 
of the whole gay pany�察�and�察�while the chimes of the clock yet rang�察�it was 
observed that the giddiest grew pale�察�and the more aged and sedate passed their 
hands over their brows as if in confused reverie or meditation。 But when the 
echoes had fully ceased�察�a light laughter at once pervaded the assembly 。。。 
and ��they�А�smiled as if at their own nervousness 。。。 and made whispering vows�察�


 
 
each to the other�察�that the next chiming of the clock should produce in them no 
similar emotion�察�and then�察�after the lapse of sixty minutes 。。。 there came yet 
another chiming of the clock�察�and then were the same disconcert and 
tremulousness and meditation as before。 
    But in spite of these things�察�it was a gay and magnificent revel 。。。 
 
                                                                      ´E。 A。 POE

JOB INTERVIEW 
 
 
  Jack Torrance thought�此�Officious little prick。 
  Ullman stood five´five�察�and when he moved�察�it was with the prissy speed that 
seems to be the exclusive domain of all small plump men。 The part in his hair 
was exact�察�and his dark suit was sober but forting。 I am a man you can bring 
your problems to�察�that suit said to the paying customer。 To the hired help it 


 
 
spoke more curtly�此�This had better be good�察�you。 There was a red carnation in 
the lapel�察�perhaps so that no one on the street would mistake Stuart Ullman for 
the local undertaker。 
  As he listened to Ullman speak�察�Jack admitted to himself that he probably 
could not have liked any man on that side of the desk ! under the circumstances。 
  Ullman had asked a question he hadn't caught。 That was bad�察�Ullman was the 
type of man who would file such lapses away in a mental Rolodex for later 
consideration。 
  ;I'm sorry�拭─�
  ;I asked if your wife fully understood what you would be taking on here。 And 
there's your son�察�of course。; He glanced down at the application in front of 
him。 ;Daniel。 Your wife isn't a bit intimidated by the idea�拭─�
  ;Wendy is an extraordinary woman。; 
  ;And your son is also extraordinary�拭─�
  Jack smiled�察�a big wide PR smile。 ;We like to think so�察�I suppose。 He's quite 
self´reliant for a five´year´old。; 
  No returning smile from Ullman。 He slipped Jack's application back into the 
file。 The file went into a drawer。 The desk top was now pletely bare except 
for a blotter�察�a telephone�察�a Tensor lamp�察�and an in/out basket。 Both sides of 
the in/out were empty�察�too。 
  Ullman stood up and went to the file cabinet in the corner。 ;Step around the 
desk�察�if you will�察�Mr。 Torrance。 We'll look at the floor plans。; 
  He brought back five large sheets and set them down on the glossy walnut plain 
of the desk。 Jack stood by his shoulder�察�very much aware of the scent of 
Ullman's cologne。 All my men wear English Leather or they wear nothing at all 
came into his mind for no reason at all�察�and he had to clamp his tongue between 
his teeth to keep in a bray of laughter。 Beyond the wall�察�faintly�察�came the 
sounds of the Overlook Hotel's kitchen�察�gearing down from lunch。 
  ;Top floor�察─�Ullman said briskly。 ;The attic。 Absolutely nothing up there now 
but bric´a´brac。 The Overlook has changed hands several times since World War II 
and it seems that each successive manager has put everything they don't want up 
in the attic。 I want rattraps and poison bait sowed around in it。 Some of the 
third´floor chambermaids say they have heard rustling noises。 I don't believe 
it�察�not for a moment�察�but there mustn't even be that one´in´a´hundred chance 
that a single rat inhabits the Overlook Hotel。; 
  Jack�察�who suspected that every hotel in the world had a rat or two�察�held his 
tongue。 
  ;Of course you wouldn't allow your son up in the attic under any 
circumstances。; 
  ;No�察─�Jack said�察�and flashed the big PR smile again。 Humiliating situation。 
Did this officious little prick actually think he would allow his son to goof 
around in a rattrap attic full of junk furniture and God knew what else�拭�
  Ullman whisked away the attic floor plan and put it on the bottom of the pile。 
  ;The Overlook has one hundred and ten guest quarters�察─�he said in a scholarly 
voice。 ;Thirty of them�察�all suites�察�are here on the third floor。 Ten in the west 
wing ��including the Presidential Suite���察�ten in the center�察�ten more in the east 
wing。 All of them mand magnificent views。; 
  Could you at least spare the salestalk�拭�


 
 
  But he kept quiet。 He needed the job。 
  Ullman put the third floor on the bottom of the pile and they studied the 
second floor。 
  ;Forty rooms�察─�Ullman said�察 �thirty doubles and ten singles。 And on the first 
floor�察�twenty of each。 Plus three linen closets on each floor�察�and a storeroom 
which is at the extreme east end of the hotel on the second floor and the 
extreme west end on the first。 Questions�拭─�
  Jack shook his head。 Ullman whisked the second and first floors away。 
  ;Now。 Lobby level�此�Here in the center is the registration desk。 Behind it are 
the offices。 The lobby runs for eighty feet in either direction from the desk。 
Over here in the west wing is the Overlook Dining Room and the Colorado Lounge。 
The banquet and ballroom facility is in the east wing。 Questions�拭─�
  ;Only about the basement�察─�Jack said。 ;For the winter caretaker�察�that's the 
most important level of all。 Where the action is�察�so to speak。; 
  ;Watson will show you all that。 The basement floor plan is on the boiler room 
wall。; He frowned impressively�察�perhaps to show that as manager�察�he did not 
concern himself with such mundane aspects of the Overlook's operation as the 
boiler and the plumbing。 ;Might not be a bad idea to put some traps down there 
too。 Just a minute。。。; 
  He scrawled a note on a pad he took from his inner coat pocket ��each sheet 
bore the legend From the Desk of Stuart Ullman in bold black script���察�tore it 
off�察�and dropped it into the out basket。 It sat there looking lonesome。 The pad 
disappeared back into Ullman's jacket pocket like the conclusion of a magician's 
trick。 Now you se
