Product Description

One of the true classics of horror, now with a new stunning cover look. The Shining is one of Stephen King's masterpieces.

Danny is only five years old, but in the words of old Mr Hallorann he is a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father becomes caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, Danny's visions grow out of control.

As winter closes in & blizzards cut them off, the hotel seems to develop a life of its own. It is meant to be empty. So who is the lady in Room 217 & who are the masked guests going up & down in the elevator? & why do the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive?

Somewhere, somehow, there is an evil force in the hotel
- & that, too, is beginning to shine...
