The Shining is the third book written by horror novelist Stephen King, following Carrie and 'Salem's Lot, and it is truly a horror masterpiece. I'm currently reading it (and I'm about halfway through), so I can't exactly give it a full, in-depth review, but so far, I have read five Stephen King novels (in order: Cujo, Christine, The Stand: The Complete & Uncut Edition, 'Salem's Lot, and this), and this is by far the best of all of them. It is also the scariest, and it, unlike a lot of other King books, has quite a bit of psychological horror in it. It reminds me of the movie The Sixth Sense, for a comparison to another good work of horror. Five stars.
