Book Description
"YOU'RE THE CARETAKER, SIR. YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE CARETAKER. I
SHOULD KNOW, SIR. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE...."
-- DELBERT GRADY OF THE OVERLOOK HOTEL
THE SHINING
First published in 1977, The Shining quickly became a benchmark in the
literary career of Stephen King. This tale of a troubled man hired to care for a
remote mountain resort over the winter, his loyal wife, and their uniquely
gifted son slowly but steadily unfolds as secrets from the Overlook Hotel's past
are revealed, and the hotel itself attempts to laim the very souls of the
Torrence family. Adapted into a cinematic masterpiece of horror by
legendaryStanley Kubrick -- featuring an unforgettable performance by a demonic
Jack Nicholson --The Shining stands as a cultural icon of modern horror,
a searing study of a family torn apart, and a nightmarish glimpse into the dark
recesses of human weakness and dementia. |
