The Shining
Jack Torrance's new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he'll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote...and more sinister. And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old.

Readers say *The Shining* is a haunting, slow-burn psychological thriller with a unique, eerie hotel setting and memorable characters, especially the ...
It seems like I've wanted to read The Shining forever, and I finally finished it the day before Halloween. So some backstory first... I've never seen the film, but of course I know of all the iconic scenes. I wanted to read the book first, because, well, that's what good bibliophiles do. I started reading anxiously waiting for all the iconic moments only to realize when I was almost done with the book that those iconic moments are only in the film. Wait, what?? So while this was still thrilling, well-written, iconic Stephen King material, I was not nearly as creeped out as I expected to be. I even read most of it in the dark on my kindle. But don't take my word for it. I don't scare very easily when it comes to books. I'm just happy to cross this one off my list and now I can go watch the film!
