The Shining by Stephen King – Original Novel

The Shining by Stephen King is available as an original English edition in Morocco from Almihbara.

The Torrance family moves into the isolated Overlook Hotel for the winter when Jack accepts work as its caretaker.

His young son Danny’s unusual perceptions make the building’s past difficult to ignore, while distance and weather gradually narrow the family’s options. King brings supernatural danger together with strain within the household, turning the hotel into a setting of increasing psychological pressure. This is the original novel, whose characters and events differ in significant ways from its best-known film adaptation.
