Sinossi
L'Overlook, uno strano e imponente albergo che domina le alte montagne del Colorado, è stato teatro di numerosi delitti e suicidi e sembra aver assorbito forze maligne che vanno al di là di ogni comprensione umana e si manifestano soprattutto d'inverno, quando l'albergo chiude e resta isolato per la neve. Uno scrittore fallito, Jack Torrance, con la moglie Wendy e il figlio Danny di cinque anni, accetta di fare il guardiano invernale all'Overlook, ed è allora che le forze del male si scatenano con rinnovato impeto: la famiglia si trova avvolta ben presto in un'atmosfera sinistra. Dinanzi a Danny - che è dotato di un potere extrasensoriale, lo "shine" - si materializzano gli orribili fatti accaduti nelle stanze dell'albergo, ma se il bambino si oppone con forza a insidie e presenze, il padre ne rimane vittima.

This was most excellent; I can 100% see why this is many readers favorite Stephen King novel. Heck, it's my favorite novel of his to date, although I have a good number of his books to catch up on. I've found myself overly critical of his work in the past, possibly due to the fact that he's so well

Is this horror? I'm genuinely asking here because I'm not a horror aficionado, so I don't know what all constitutes that genre. To a layman like myself, IT was horror because it scared the piss out of me and I couldn't sleep without the lights on for a while. The Shining is more like a Spooky Family Leggi tutto
“The thought rose from nowhere, naked and unadorned. The urge to tumble her out of bed, naked, bewildered, just beginning to wake up; to pounce on her, seize her neck like the green limb of a young aspen and to throttle her, thumbs on windpipe, fingers pressing against the top of her spine, jerking Leggi tutto
Quite simply put, The Shining is the best horror story I have ever read. It scared the hell out of me. Over a period of time, I have noticed certain standard "motifs" in horror stories. One of these I call "The Lost Child". Such stories will typically involve a child, who can see what the silly grown Leggi tutto
