Audiobook Summary-

Stephen King's The Shining is a horror novel that delves into supernatural fear, haunted hotels, and family breakdown, making it a classic horror book and Stephen King thriller that cannot be missed. The film traces the life of Jack Torrance, a struggling writer and recovering addict who is hired as the off-season caretaker for the remote Overlook Hotel in Colorado. He is accompanied by his wife Wendy and their son Danny, who is gifted with a psychic talent known as "the shining," whereby he can see the past and the future, and perceive the existence of ghosts. As a blizzard pins the family indoors in the hotel, dark forces stir, their hunger fueled by Jack's increasing instability and Danny's psychic powers. The evil influence of the hotel leads Jack to go mad, and he turns savagely against his family. King expertly instills fear by means of the cramped environment and Jack's descent into madness, and Danny's powers present a lifeline as well as a curse. The Shining is a gripping examination of addiction, isolation, and the supernatural, demonstrating King's skill at blending intensely personal struggles with horror that is both spine-tingling and which lingers long after the last page.
