Pero Danny tenía pruebas de que sus fantasías relacionadas con el resplandor del espejo acabarían cumpliéndose: "redrum" ... "murder", asesinato. Pero su padre necesitaba aquel trabajo en el hotel. Danny sabía que su madre pensaba en el divorcio y que su padre se obsesionaba con algo muy malo, tan malo como la muerte y el suicido. Sí, su padre necesitaba aceptar la propuesta de cuidar aquel hotel de lujo con más de cien habitaciones, aislado por la nieve durante seis meses. Hasta el deshielo iban a estar solos"--Cover."

  • "Ein Hotel in den Bergen von Colorado. Jack Torrance, ein verkrachter Intellektueller mit Psycho-Problemen, bekommt den Job als Haumeister, um den er sich beworben hat. Zusammen mit seiner Frau Wendy und seinem Sohn Danny reist er in den letzten Tagen des Herbstes an. Das Hotel "Overlook" ist ein verrufener Ort. Wer sich ihm ausliefert, verfällt ihm, wird zum ausführenden Organ aller bösen Träume und Wünsche, die sich in ihm manifestieren. Mit Shining gelang Stephen King ein moderner Klassiker des Grauens, ein Buch, das die Ängste unserer Zeit erfasst und jeden Leser in seinen emotionalen Grundfesten erschüttert."
