The Shining - Boxed Set

The Shining: A Visual and Cultural Haunting — Limited Overlook Edition

Publisher: Rough Trade Books Editor: Craig Oldham Format: Boxed, loose‑leaf, multi‑component art/essay collection Edition: Limited Overlook Edition (the premium, boxed variant)

What it is

This is a highly designed, multi‑format exploration of The Shining (1980), focusing on the film’s cultural footprint rather than being a traditional book. It’s structured to resemble Jack Torrance’s typewritten manuscript — loose sheets, typed pages, ephemera, and inserts — all housed in a box lined with the iconic Overlook Hotel carpet pattern.

This edition is the deluxe version Rough Trade Books produced; it sold out quickly and has become collectible.

Contents (as listed on the back of your box)

• 120+ typewritten sheets, including:

  • 16 reinterpretations of “All Work and No Play…”

  • 80+ one‑page essays

  • 10 character portraits typed using the same model typewriter used in the film

• Overlook Mazes and Labyrinths poster

• Three booklets of imagery

• One scrapbook

• Room 237 key fob

• Three republished texts (Lovecraft, Freud, Stephen Crane)
