The Shining

The Shining is not a scary book but more of a psychological horror, which really got under my skin in a way no other book has. Having watched the film I was expecting pretty much that but what I got was a lot more depth about the Father/Son relationship and the devastating inner battle between the Fathers light and dark side. I now understand why King wasn't a fan of the movie as it barely scratches the surface of what King pinned the whole book on and what seemed to be a deeply personal journey.

P.s: I will never trust topiary again!
