And for most of the last half of the novel, I was stretched out on a sofa in the living room, reading along so terrified that I was afraid to get up and walk around. I figured my experience of reading The Shining was fresh enough for me, since I remember keenly where I was when the book first came out, and where I was when I read it - in a new house in a subdivision on the western perimeter of Knoxville, Tenn. His name is Danny Torrance, and the images that probably remain for most readers, whether recent or distant, are REDRUM - murder spelled backward on the bathroom mirror - and the topiary animals that move about of their own accord.
Depending on how recently you immersed yourself in that story, you'll have a sharp or vague recollection of a young child with the power of "shining," or mind-reading mixed with telekinesis. If you're a dutiful fan of Stephen King's work - myself, I'm an off again, on again follower - you will have read The Shining, King's hit 1977 novel about a haunted resort in the Colorado Rockies.
