A novel by Stephen King, later made into a film by Stanley Kubrick. In the novel, Jack Torrance, a temperamental failed writer who had a drinking problem he's trying to forget, moves with his wife and young son to a sprawling hotel to maintain it over the winter. The hotel apparently is haunted and seems to feed off people with psychic powers; Torrance's son, who is mildly telepathic, begins seeing ghosts and strange occurences, which, in spite of his wishes, turn out to be real; Jack, frustrated with his inability to work, begins drinking again and becomes increasingly unstable.
