Book Overview: The Shining

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – Before Doctor Sleep, there was The Shining, a classic of modern American horror from the undisputed master, Stephen King.

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.

The Shining Book Reviews

  1. Matt Grandbois

    Stephen King’s ‘The Shining’ is a tour de force in the horror literature genre. With masterful storytelling, King meticulously unravels the tale, making the dread more gripping and the tension almost unbearable with each turning page. Enriched with intricate character development and phenomenal world-building, its chilling narrative is bound to leave you on the edge of your seat. King’s ability to highlight the psychological horror mixed with supernatural elements in extreme details is uncannily startling. ‘The Shining’ successfully takes its readers on a gripping journey to the eerie Overlook Hotel, offering an unforgettable and thrilling reading experience. Even if you’re not a horror enthusiast, King’s stupendously layered storytelling is sure to leave a lasting impression.
