Want: The Shining

I've been hearing about The Shining by Stephen King and I am intrigued. So I checked the blurb from Goodreads and here's what it says...

Danny was only five years old but in the words of old Mr Halloran he was a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father became caretaker of an the Overlook Hotel his visions grew frighteningly out of control.

As winter closed in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seemed to develop a life of it's own. It was meant to be empty, but who was the lady in Room 217, and who were the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why did the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive?

Somewhere, somehow there was an evil force in the hotel - and that too had begun to shine...

I am a Stephen King fan and some of his books I've read are faves of mine. But what really made me want to read this was a comment I read somewhere saying that when he read this book, he had nightmares for weeks! Yay! I love horror stories!

I will check this out tomorrow when I go to the mall.
