In both cases, isolation has severe effects on the psyche of an artist, yet where the former novel found its protagonist in a lethal state of writer’s block, the latter sees a one-time building magnate transformed into an impossibly prolific and powerful painter, due to circumstances beyond his control. This could be considered a companion piece to The Shining, offering plenty of reversals on that plot. The prolific master of psycho-horror returns to the mysteries of the creative process, a subject that has inspired some of his most haunting work. ![]()
