$23.00 Inc GST
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 and 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 and who are the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why do the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive?
Somewhere, somehow, there is an evil force in the hotel – and that, too, is beginning to shine . . . .
Wake up the new reader and shake up the existing reader – between Spring 2021 and Autumn 2024 Hodder is reissuing groups of Stephen King's books in a wonderful new livery. THE SHINING is an iconic CHILLING CLASSIC, regarded as one of Stephen King's masterpieces.
