Stephen King's 'The Shining' Review
County Derry Post
|7 November 2017
PROBABLY Stephen King’s most famous novel, The Shining is still one of the scariest books you will ever read, especially around Halloween.
Telling the story of alcoholic writer Jack Torrance and his family after he takes on the job of caretaker at the Overlook Hotel, it is a study of humans who are closed off from the rest of the world – with supernatural elements thrown in for fun.
When originally published, The Shining was only King’s third novel.
The characters are all well rounded, even the minor ones. However, it is the book’s antihero Jack Torrance who provides much of the point-of-view.
