The Shining (1977) is a horror novel by American author Stephen King. The title was inspired by the John Lennon song "Instant Karma!", which contained the line "We all shine on…". It was King's third published novel, and first hardback bestseller, and the success of the book firmly established King as a preeminent author in the horror genre.
A film based upon the book, The Shining directed by Stanley Kubrick, was released in 1980, and is deemed one of the true masterpieces of the horror genre. The book was later adapted into a television mini-series in 1997.
