See me after class by meghan quinn7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Add in spectacular “storm” lighting and some interesting visuals for the Apparitions and the feel was most definitely Gothic. ![]() ![]() They earned their stage call of “the three creepy little dudes”, perhaps most notably when sat front and centre violently stabbing a doll during the cauldron scene. There were also three children interpolated into all the infernal scenes. The mid-19th-century setting worked well with Lady Macbeth oddly reminiscent of a mourning Queen Victoria and clever detailing of costumes including a subtle contrast between the “continental” uniforms of the Scots soldiers and Malcolm’s very English troops. The monumental sets were based on a sort of ruined chapel which transformed (not without some awkwardly long scene changes) into Macbeth’s hall, the witches’ lair and so on without ever quite losing it’s ecclesiastical austerity. McVicar seems to have a very sure sense of what Macbeth is about. Access a growing selection of included Audible Originals, audiobooks and podcasts.

The first mention comes when the title character Billy Summers and his companion Alice arrive at the home of Billy's associate Bucky, who just so happens to live in Colorado's Rocky Mountains near a place called - you guessed it - Sidewinder. But the references do crop up on a fair few pages, and they're detailed enough to make them worth breaking down a little. They feature in passing, something the main characters stumble across mid-way through their journey. The first thing worth mentioning is that the events of The Shining don't play a key role in the plot of Billy Summers. Unlike many of King's books it's a fairly straight thriller without any overt supernatural elements - but hidden among the disguises and the shootouts is a hat-tip to King's horror roots, and it comes in the form of an Easter egg anyone familiar with The Shining will recognise straight away. Stephen King's latest novel, Billy Summers, is a story about an assassin on one final job. ![]() The evil building that facilitated Jack Torrance's infamous axe wielding burned down at the conclusion of Stephen King's 1977 novel The Shining, only to get another mention (this time as an absence rather than a presence) in the 2013 sequel Doctor Sleep.Īnd now, eight years later, it's back again.
