It is King's third published novel and first hardcover bestseller; its success firmly established King as a preeminent author in the horror genre.

Jack is a recovering alcoholic with anger issues which previously caused him to accidentally break his son Danny's arm and lose a teaching job after assaulting a student. Jack hopes that the hotel's seclusion will help him reconnect with Danny as well as his wife, Wendy, and give him the motivation needed to work on a play. </p><p>Unknown to his parents, Danny possesses <a href="/wiki/Psychic" title="Psychic">psychic</a> abilities referred to as "shining", which include <a href="/wiki/Telepathy" title="Telepathy">reading minds</a>, <a href="/wiki/Precognition" title="Precognition">premonitions</a> and <a href="/wiki/Clairvoyance" title="Clairvoyance">clairvoyance</a>.

Danny does not tell either of his parents about his visions because he senses that the caretaking job is important to his father and dissuades Wendy from leaving Jack at the Overlook by himself. However, Danny soon realizes that his presence in the hotel makes the supernatural activity more powerful, turning echoes of past tragedies from the hotel's history into dangerous threats. Apparitions take solid form and the garden's <a href="/wiki/Topiary" title="Topiary">topiary</a> animals come to life. The winter snowfall leaves the Torrances cut off from the outside world. </p><p>The Overlook has difficulty possessing Danny, so it turns its attention to Jack by frustrating his desire to work and by enticing him with the dark history of the hotel through a scrapbook in the basement.

After a fight with Wendy, Jack sees the hotel's bar fully stocked with <a href="/wiki/Liquor" title="Liquor">liquor</a> despite being previously empty and finds himself attending a party of ghosts. As he gets drunk, the hotel uses the ghost of Delbert Grady, a previous caretaker who murdered his family, to urge Jack to do the same to Danny and Wendy.

Jack attacks Wendy with one of the hotel's <a href="/wiki/Roque" title="Roque">roque</a> mallets, seriously injuring her, but she escapes to the caretaker's suite and locks herself in the bathroom. Jack attempts to break the door with the mallet, but Wendy slashes his hand with a razor blade to deter him. Meanwhile, Hallorann, having received a psychic distress call from Danny while working at a winter resort in <a href="/wiki/Florida" title="Florida">Florida</a>, rushes back to the Overlook, only to be attacked by the topiary animals and severely injured by Jack. </p><p>As Jack pursues Danny through the hotel and corners him on the top floor, he briefly gains control of himself and implores Danny to flee. The hotel quickly retakes control of Jack, making him violently batter his own face and skull into ruin with the mallet, leaving his body under the hotel's control. Remembering that Jack has neglected to relieve the pressure on the hotel's unstable boiler, Danny informs the hotel that it is about to explode. As Danny, Wendy, and Hallorann flee, the hotel-creature rushes to the basement in an attempt to vent the pressure, but it is too late. The boiler explodes, killing Jack and destroying the Overlook. Fighting off a last attempt by the hotel to possess him, Hallorann guides Danny and Wendy to safety. </p><p>The book's <a href="/wiki/Epilogue" title="Epilogue">epilogue</a> is set during the next summer.

You always hide what you're confessing to. That's one of the reasons why you make up the story. When I wrote <i>The Shining</i>, for instance, the protagonist of <i>The Shining</i> is a man who has broken his son's arm, who has a history of child beating, who is beaten himself. And as a young father with two children, I was horrified by my occasional feelings of real antagonism toward my children. Won't you ever stop? Won't you ever go to bed? And time has given me the idea that probably there are a lot of young fathers and young mothers both who feel very angry, who have angry feelings toward their children. But as somebody who has been raised with the idea that father knows best and <a href="/wiki/Ward_Cleaver" title="Ward Cleaver">Ward Cleaver</a> on <i><a href="/wiki/Leave_It_to_Beaver" title="Leave It to Beaver">Leave It to Beaver</a></i>, and all this stuff, I would think to myself, Oh, if he doesn't shut up, if he doesn't shut up... So when I wrote this book I wrote a lot of that down and tried to get it out of my system, but it was also a confession. Yes, there are times when I felt very angry toward my children and have even felt as though I could hurt them. Well, my kids are older now.
