（The　Red　Death　held　sway　over　all！）

He　frowned。　What　left　field　had　that　e　out　of？　That　was　Poe；　the　Great

American　Hack。　And　surely　the　Overlook　—　this　shining；　glowing　Overlook　on　the

invitation　he　held　in　his　hands…was　the　farthest　cry　from　E。　A。　Poe　imaginable。

He　put　the　invitation　back　and　turned　to　the　next　page。　A　paste…up　from　one　of

the　Denver　papers；　and　scratched　beneath　it　the　date：　May　15；　1947。

POSH　MOUNTAIN　RESORT　REOPENS　WITH

STELLAR　GUEST　REGISTER

Derwent　Says　Overlook　Will　Be　〃Showplace　of　the　World〃

By　David　Felton；　Features　Editor

The　Overlook　Hotel　has　been　opened　and　reopened　in　its　thirty…eight…year

history；　but　rarely　with　such　style　and　dash　as　that　promised　by　Horace

Derwent；　the　mysterious　California　millionaire　who　is　the　latest　owner　of

the　hostelry。

Derwent；　who　makes　no　secret　of　having　sunk　more　than　one　million　dollars

into　his　newest　venture　—　and　some　say　the　figure　is　closer　to　three

million　—　says　that　〃The　new　Overlook　will　be　one　of　the　worlds　showplaces；

the　kind　of　hotel　you　will　remember　overnighting　in　thirty　years　later。〃

When　Derwent；　who　is　rumored　to　have　substantial　Las　Vegas　holdings；　was

asked　if　his　purchase　and　refurbishing　of　the　Overlook　signaled　the　opening

gun　in　a　battle　to　legalize　casino…style　gambling　in　Colorado；　the

aircraft；　movie；　munitions；　and　shipping　magnate　denied　it　。。。　with　a

smile。　〃The　Overlook　would　be　cheapened　by　gambling；〃　he　said；　〃and　dont

think　Im　knocking　Vegas！　Theyve　got　too　many　of　my　markers　out　there　for

me　to　do　that！　I　have　no　interest　in　lobbying　for　legalized　gambling　in

Colorado。　It　would　be　spitting　into　the　wind。〃

When　the　Overlook　opens　officially　（there　was　a　gigantic　and　hugely

successful　party　there　some　time　ago　when　the　actual　work　was　finished）；

the　newly　painted；　papered；　and　decorated　rooms　will　be　occupied　by　a

stellar　guest　list；　ranging　from　Chic　designer　Corbat　Stani　to。。。

Smiling　bemusedly；　Jack　turned　the　page。　Now　he　was　looking　at　a　full…page　ad

from　the　New　York　Sunday　Times　travel　section。　On　the　page　after　that　a　story　on

Derwent　himself；　a　balding　man　with　eyes　that　pierced　you　even　from　an　old

newsprint　photo。　He　was　wearing　rimless　spectacles　and　a　forties…style　pencil…

line　mustache　that　did　nothing　at　all　to　make　him　look　like　Errol　Flynn。　His

face　was　that　of　an　accountant。　It　was　the　eyes　that　made　him　look　like　someone

or　something　else。

Jack　skimmed　the　article　rapidly。　He　knew　most　of　the　information　from　a

Newsweek　story　on　Derwent　the　year　before。　Born　poor　in　St。　Paul；　never　finished
