Yessss, my kind-a book. Will I be going "Why in the fuck would you do that?" to it? Will I feel shivers down my spine or the hairs down my neck go up?

Or is it just creepy and I should just pick it up for creeps-value?

context in spoilers....

At a point about three quarters of the way through the novel, when "the hotel was running things," as Jack is about to be served his first drink by the Overlook, Danny walks out of the Torrences' apartment within the hotel and attempts to go to Jack and stop the Bad Thing from happening. Blocking his way, however, is a man "dressed in some sort of silvery, spangled costume. A dog costume...." Danny asks to be let by, but the costumed man begins barking and howling and threatening to "eat [Danny] up," starting with his "plump, little cock." The man then makes references to "blowing down" Harry Derwent, and continues to menace Danny until the boy goes back inside the Torrences' living quarters. Later, during one of those time-bending sequences when the hotel brings its past back to life, the mystery man's identity is explained. One of the Overlook's former owners was a man named Horace Derwent, an eccentric Howard Hughes type who poured over three million into restoring the Overlook after WWII, hoping to make it "the Showplace of the World." At one of his lavish masques thrown for the benefit of the rich and famous, Horace played mockingly with one of the guests - Roger - who was dressed up like a dog. During the hotel's "re-enactment" of the party for Jack, a gorgeous woman explains to him that Derwent is bisexual ("AC/DC...although he never goes for repeats on his DC side"), and Roger is a former lover. According to the woman, Horace told Roger "if he came to the masked ball as a doggy, a cute little doggy, he might reconsider (having sex with Roger)."

why it appears in the film when all this didn't is beyond me other than it being a weird moment

This sets up some truly disturbing implications for my future roleplaying.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Because Stephen King is a sick, sick fuck. Hell, you need proof, just look at that underaged orgy scene in IT.

It's more on the lines of "WHY IS THIS HAPPENING" horror.

My ''favorite'" kind.

Yaaaay!

They just don't make stories like they used to... even stuff I used to like has gone to shit. FF, Devil May Cry, Hunger Games (the third book is basically Twilight in the future, and slightly less gay)... Pixar made Cars 2... the Death Note movie will probably be a disaster...
