The tale finishes with the death of its protagonist, Jack Torrance, however there’s constantly been a dangling string: The utmost destiny of his kid, Danny Torrance, that endured his papa’s descent right into insanity at the Overlook Hotel.Īfter 36 years, Stephen King has actually lastly gotten that dangling string as well as returned to the globe of The Shining with Medical Professional Sleep, a Danny Torrance-centric sequel. But I knew terror when I felt it, and the book had that effect on me, oh, yes, it did.There are few modern horror stories more adored than Stephen King’s The Beaming, which has been frightening target markets, publication lovers and cinephiles alike, for greater than 30 years. Maybe I was just an impressionable guy, who at that time had not yet turned 40 and so held a lot of misimpressions about love, marriage, work and life at large. And for most of the last half of the novel, I was stretched out on a sofa in the living room, reading along so terrified that I was afraid to get up and walk around. I figured my experience of reading The Shining was fresh enough for me, since I remember keenly where I was when the book first came out, and where I was when I read it - in a new house in a subdivision on the western perimeter of Knoxville, Tenn. His name is Danny Torrance, and the images that probably remain for most readers, whether recent or distant, are REDRUM - murder spelled backward on the bathroom mirror - and the topiary animals that move about of their own accord. Depending on how recently you immersed yourself in that story, you'll have a sharp or vague recollection of a young child with the power of "shining," or mind-reading mixed with telekinesis. If you're a dutiful fan of Stephen King's work - myself, I'm an off again, on again follower - you will have read The Shining, King's hit 1977 novel about a haunted resort in the Colorado Rockies.
