The Shining - Stephen King (Spine - Chilling)
Warning! Read this book ONLY if you can handle it, if you enjoy getting s**t scared, AND if you have a loving and patient spouse who will not complain when dragged into the bathroom with you because you are scared :-). “The Shining” was the best horror book I have ever read. I could not sleep peacefully in the night and I could not go on my own to even the next room! No book has ever taken over my imagination like this, before or since.The story is about a father who is a recovered alcoholic, who loses his job due to this problem. So now, he's offered a job managing a resort/hotel.His son Danny, who has the ability to almost foretell what happens, is scared for some reason. He has an imaginary friend, Tony, who is telling him very clearly that something is wrong here at this hotel. His parents don't really believe him, and think he is being silly, until things REALLY do begin to happen.
This book is a MUST read for all “horror” book lovers. Reading the book was so much better than watching the movie.
