The Shining

The book that established the King of Horror 43 years after the original publication of Stephen King's iconic book and 40 years since Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation, the story of The Shining continues to inspire, frighten and thrill. Jack Torrance's new job at Thea Hotel is the perfect opportunity for a fresh start. As winter caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, Jack will have plenty of time to reconnect with his family and concentrate on writing. But when the harsh winter comes, the idyllic location begins to seem utterly isolated, utterly diabolical. And the only one who perceives the presence of strange and dark forces in "The View" is Danny Torrance, a five-year-old child with a unique gift.
