The Review:

The novel's title, "The Shining," refers to a set of psychic abilities held by one of the main characters. I saw the movie when I was five years old, and it made a lasting impression on me, especially the conclusion, which was incredible for me. I wasn't frightened, but I was proud of the child who was so brave to accomplish what he did because I assumed he was my age, and it inspired me to be strong and brave as well.

If you are a horror fan who has only seen the movie but has never read the book, you should read it and consider it a great gift to yourself because it will take you inside one crazy dark brain and its thoughts that you will never see on the screen.

A masterpiece for horror fans from the master and king of horror. While reading the book, you will notice that the characters are extremely complicated. They all have a genuine vibe to them. You sympathize with a character, a man who can't seem to catch a break, at one point. The next thing you know, you're terrified of him and what he might do to his family. His wife is also far more complex than she appears. You become fascinated with her while also fearful for her safety.

This is a creepy novel that isn't just popular because it was written by the king or because it's one of those fashion statement items that everyone wants to be associated with just to fit in. Instead, this book will send your brain into the creep zone and truly scare you.


Synopsis:

“#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Before Doctor Sleep, there was The Shining, a classic of modern American horror from the undisputed master, Stephen King.

Jack Torrance’s new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he’ll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote . . . and more sinister. And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old.”

The Review

The first true science fiction novel with the story that gives hope to humanity's never-ending battle against death, but in a twisted way that depicts love, hatred, innocence, treachery, and a child-like brain collecting all the information it can while trapped in an enormously strong adult body made out of dozens of corpses.

One of the two most iconic horror characters who single-handedly changed the way horror and science fiction are written. The iconic story of a monster that rebels against its creator.

Although it is a well-known story, the writing style is as old and classic as the story itself. So don't be surprised if you don't understand some of the dialogue. And the way traveling and scenery are used to depict the passage of time and consume a large portion of reading time may turn off some modern readers, but keep in mind that this was the norm at the time this book was published.

But, if you can understand the old style then you can see the author possesses an innate ability to transport the reader to a world of intense emotions. Her strong use of imagery and excellent use of point of view don't waste time in transporting the reader into a profound experience. Her work is masterful at evoking emotions, transporting you to the agony of loneliness, the ugliness of human nature, and the high price of ambition.

I have read several different versions of this story, and the main difference was always the words. the words that make it difficult to read or the words that make it easy or very easy to read, such as children's library editions One constant was the classic character and his suffering and realization that he needed to stand up and demand justice from his creator. This is a metaphor/allegory to humans and God for me.

One of the most heartbreaking stories, it depicts the monster that lurks within all humans and then the angel that lurks within the monster. I wish that everyone could see these hidden gems of knowledge in these classic books and learn from them to become better people.

The monster is also the Beast; he is ugly on the outside, but his heart is pure, innocent, and childlike, just as the Beast's heart became by the end of the story.


Synopsis:

“One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'.

200 years after it was first published, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has stood the test of time as a gothic masterpiece—a classic work of humanity and horror that blurs the line between man and monster...

The story of Victor Frankenstein who, obsessed with creating life itself, plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, but whose botched creature sets out to destroy his maker, would become the world's most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity.

A novel of hallucinatory intensity, Frankenstein represents one of the most striking flowerings of the Romantic imagination.”

Come Closer

Published: 2003

Author: Sara Gran

Genres: Adult, American, Contemporary, Demonic Possession, Fantasy, Fiction, First Person Narrative, Horror, Literary, Literature, Mystery, Psychological, Supernatural, Thrillers


The Review:

A fantastic and terrifying tale of relationships, obsession, psychological damage, and possession told from the first-person perspective. An easy and fast read  that can be finished in one sitting and that makes it an even better candidate for recommendations.

This book may be read in one sitting, but the impression it will make on your mind will endure a long time. Even the faintest sound, such as a creak or a tap, will startle you.

I call it an incredibly written novella because of its size but the way it is written is proof of how clever and genius Sara Gran is in her craft. The story starts innocently but it is like water being boiled and the more it gets heated the more it starts to boil and that is how you are going to feel with the progression of the tale.

It is scary and a lot more creepy in many other ways than a normal horror novel because some of the readers can actually see themselves In place of the main character and basically relate to her and then the possession, which can be a stuff of nightmares for many readers.

This review is brief since I don't want to give anything away about the narrative by writing anything about it except that it is highly recommended. The only reason I'm giving it fewer points is because of its size and the fact that it's not for everyone, but the only way for a reader to find out is to read it. I believe that if a book receives more than 50% points, it is readable by most people, with a few exceptions. As a result of this theory, this book has higher recommendations and is readable by the majority of readers.


Synopsis:

““What begins as a sly fable about frustrated desire evolves into a genuinely scary novel about possession and insanity. Hypnotic” (Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho).

A recurrent, unidentifiable noise in her apartment. A memo to her boss that’s replaced by obscene insults. Amanda—a successful architect in a happy marriage—finds her life going off kilter by degrees. She starts smoking again, and one night for no reason, without even the knowledge that she’s doing it, she burns her husband with a cigarette. At night she dreams of a beautiful woman with pointed teeth on the shore of a blood-red sea.

The new voice in Amanda’s head, the one that tells her to steal things and talk to strange men in bars, is strange and frightening, and Amanda struggles to wrest back control of her life. Is she possessed by a demon, or is she simply insane? Described as “a new kind of psychological thriller” by George Pelecanos and “this year’s scariest novel” by Time Out New York, Come Closer has become a modern classic “with a kick that will stay with the reader for days afterward” (The Dallas Morning News).”
