About the book

The Shining by Stephen King is a horror novel about Jack Torrance, a struggling writer who takes a winter job as the caretaker of the isolated Overlook Hotel in Colorado. He moves there with his wife, Wendy, and their young son, Danny, who has a psychic ability called "the shining" that allows him to sense supernatural events. As the hotel becomes cut off by heavy snow, its dark and violent history begins to influence Jack. Danny sees terrifying visions and realizes that dangerous supernatural forces are present. Jack gradually loses control of himself, putting his family in serious danger. The novel explores isolation, addiction, family conflict, supernatural evil, and the struggle between love and destructive impulses.
