The Shining is Stephen King's iconic horror masterpiece, following struggling writer Jack Torrance as he accepts a winter caretaker job at the isolated Overlook Hotel, hoping the solitude will help him rebuild his life and his family. But as a snowstorm cuts the hotel off from the outside world, the Overlook's malevolent supernatural forces begin to prey on Jack's fragile sanity, while his young son Danny's psychic gift, the shining, reveals the full horror of what the hotel truly is. Claustrophobic and relentlessly unsettling, this is a masterclass in slow-building dread and psychological terror. A defining classic of modern horror fiction.
