I think also just his prolific nature means he’s not always going to be writing stuff that hits the same for everybody, but to me it seems that each of his works appeals to different people. I enjoyed The Shining a lot when I read it. It inspired me to read The Haunting of Hill House, and tbh while I didn’t find that ~scary~ in the same sense as I did certain parts of The Shining, it’s still a very good book.
