The Shining

 "The Shining" is a classic horror novel written by Stephen King and published in 1977. It has also been adapted into a highly acclaimed film directed by Stanley Kubrick in 1980. The story is set in the eerie and isolated Overlook Hotel, located in the Colorado Rockies. Here's a description of the novel's setting and plot:

Setting: The Overlook Hotel: The primary setting of the story, the Overlook Hotel, is a massive, old, and imposing structure that becomes increasingly sinister as the story unfolds. It's located high up in the mountains and is cut off from the outside world during the harsh winter months, making it a truly isolated and creepy place. The hotel is filled with dark corridors, labyrinthine hallways, and countless rooms, many of which have a disturbing history.

Plot: The novel follows the Torrance family: Jack, Wendy, and their young son, Danny. Jack Torrance is a struggling writer and recovering alcoholic who takes a job as the winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel. He hopes that the solitude will provide him with the peace and inspiration he needs to overcome his personal demons and finish his writing project.

Jack's wife, Wendy, and their telepathically gifted son, Danny, accompany him to the hotel. Danny has a psychic ability known as "the shining," which allows him to see and communicate with the hotel's ghosts and sense its dark and malevolent history.

As winter sets in and the hotel becomes cut off from the outside world, supernatural events begin to occur. The malevolent forces that inhabit the Overlook gradually possess Jack, driving him to madness and violence. Danny's psychic abilities make him a target of the hotel's evil, and he must use his powers to survive and protect his family.

The novel is a psychological thriller that explores themes of isolation, alcoholism, family dysfunction, and the supernatural. It's known for its slow-building tension, disturbing imagery, and the gradual descent of its characters into madness. "The Shining" is considered one of Stephen King's most iconic and terrifying works, and it has had a significant impact on the horror genre in both literature and film.
