Bekanntermaßen ist Stephen King kein Fan der Verfilmung von Shining, anders als ich selbst. Nachdem ich nun auch das Buch gelesen habe, kann ich seinen Missmut zumindest nachvollziehen. King zeichnet hier das vielschichtige Bild einer Familie in finanzieller Notlage auch auf einer emotionalen Ebene, wovon der Film nur noch wenig übrig lässt. Es lohnt sich entsprechend, auch dann noch das Buch zu lesen, wenn man diesen also bereits gesehen hat. Man sollte das Buch allerdings nicht während der ersten Hälfte zurück in den Schrank stellen. Die Handlung kommt nämlich dann erst so richtig ins Rollen und lässt einen nicht mehr los.

The Overlook Hotel claimed the most beautiful physical setting of any resort in the world; but Jack Torrance, the new winter caretaker, with his wife Wendy and their five-year-old son Danny, saw much more than its splendor. Jack saw the Overlook as an opportunity, a desperate way back from failure and despair; Wendy saw this lonely sanctuary as a frail chance to perserve their family; and Danny? Danny, who was blessed or cursed with a shining, precognitive gift, saw visions hideously beyond the comprehension of a small boy. He sensed the evil coiled within the Overlook's 110 empty rooms; an evil that was waiting just for them. The Shining , by Stephen King, the undisputed master of the modern horror story. Special Features for this Deluxe Special Edition: • An introduction by Stephen King. • An afterword by Mick Garris. • The complete text of "Before the Play," Stephen King's 40 page prologue that has never appeared in any edition of The Shining, restored at the beginning of the book where King originally intended it to be published. • A Deleted Material section, which contains HUNDREDS of sentences, paragraphs, and even scenes not included in the final book we all know and love. Of particular interest is a four page section toward the end known as "After the Play," which even Stephen King believed had been lost forever because he didn't have a copy in his archives!. • An essay entitled, "The Shine Manuscript: An Early Draft of The Shining" by Jon Page, the collector who discovered all of the text we're including in the Deleted Material section.
