I could not read “The Shining” when I was alone at home, this was around 1979. I would literally start to think I saw something out of the corner of my eye, then I’d turn and look and—nothing was there. I could only read the book if my husband was in the house.
I decided to read the book again in the early 90’s, but after about the first couple of hundred pages I had to stop. The book scared me too much. LOL
