Horror Stories

The Shining

By Stephen King

Thursday, December 3rd

Stephen King’s The Shining follows Jack Torrance, a struggling writer and recovering alcoholic who takes a winter caretaker job at the isolated Overlook Hotel in the Colorado mountains. Jack, his wife Wendy, and their young son Danny settle in for the long winter, expecting a quiet opportunity for Jack to work and for the family to reconnect. But Danny possesses a mysterious psychic ability that allows him to sense things others cannot, and the hotel itself seems to harbor a dark and unsettling presence. As the winter deepens and the family becomes increasingly isolated, tensions rise and the boundaries between the supernatural and the psychological begin to blur.
