The Shining is a 1977 horror novel by American author
Stephen King. The title was inspired by the John Lennon song "Instant Karma!”
which contained the line "We all shine on…". It was King's third
published novel, and first hardback bestseller, and the success of the book
firmly established King as a preeminent author in the horror genre. A film
based upon the book, The Shining directed by Stanley Kubrick, was released in
1980. The book was later adapted into a television mini-series in 1997.
This novel is one of the best horror thrillers of all time.
