Tag: The Shining

I’m sure it’s different for each person, but I would also wager a guess if there is one story that the general public would think of first, it would be “The Shining.” King had two previous successful books before this, but this was his first bestseller in hardback. However while the book was and still is very popular, it’s the film adaptation by Stanley Kubrick starring Jack Nicholson that is the reason for it’s place in popular culture. Now the Minnesota Opera has created an Opera version of the story.
