The Shining is an astonishing novel by Stephen King.
The successful author had already written Carrie and Salem´s Lot, but it was with The Shining that Stephen King became famous all over the world.
Apparently, the story is a simple one, a couple and its child spend a winter in a hotel -The Overlook- in Colorado Mountains, isolated by the snow.
On one hand, he problems will appear as we know about the past of husband and wife -his alcoholism-, at the same time that we discover the history of The Overlook -mafia murders, strange customers.
