Today's Spooky Read from HPL

Every Friday in October, we're highlighting a spooky read to help you get into the Halloween spirit.

 

Considered by many to be the Master of Horror, any spooky reading list wouldn't be complete without at least one title from Stephen King. Today's pick is THE SHINING, the classic twisted tale of a haunted hotel and its caretaker.

Follow this up with the movie version by Stanley Kubrick for one of the best novel adaptations ever filmed.

This tale of a troubled man hired to care for a remote mountain resort over the winter, his loyal wife, and their uniquely gifted son slowly but steadily unfolds as secrets from the Overlook Hotel's past are revealed, and the hotel itself attempts to laim the very souls of the Torrence family.... "The Shining" stands as a cultural icon of modern horror, a searing study of a family torn apart, and a nightmarish glimpse into the dark recesses of human weakness and dementia.
