The Shining
447 Pages
High in the Colorado Rockies, the Overlook Hotel shuts down for the winter, and Jack Torrance moves in with his wife and son as its off-season caretaker. For Jack, it’s a chance to rebuild: his writing, his sobriety, his family. But the hotel has other plans.
Something in the Overlook feeds on fear, madness, and memory. And young Danny Torrance, gifted with the “shining”, a kind of second sight, can see it all. The longer they stay, the louder the voices get, and the hungrier the shadows become.
The Shining is one of King’s most iconic novels: a psychological horror classic about isolation, generational trauma, and the terrifying idea that the worst things in the world aren’t just out there…they’re inside us.
