Shining Stephen King

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.

Quand on propose à Jack Torrance, ancien professeur et ancien alcoolique, un poste de gardien pour l’hiver à l’hôtel Overlook dans les montagnes du Colorado, il croit tenir là une chance de se racheter aux yeux de sa famille.
