One of the true classics of horror, The Shining stands as a defining masterpiece from Stephen King.
Danny Torrance is only five years old, but as old Mr Hallorann recognises, he is a “shiner”, gifted with a powerful and dangerous psychic ability. When his father Jack accepts the job of winter caretaker at the remote Overlook Hotel, Danny’s visions begin to intensify, spiralling beyond his control.
As snowstorms close in and the family is cut off from the outside world, the hotel reveals a sinister will of its own. It is meant to be empty. So who is the woman in Room 217? Who are the masked guests drifting through the corridors? And why do the animal-shaped hedges seem so unsettlingly alive?
Somewhere within the Overlook, an ancient and malevolent force is awakening. And it, too, is beginning to shine.
