Ep-60 The Shining (1977 novel) part one

The podcast goes back to the beginning with their first revisit
to the works of Stephen King since their inaugural coverage. This
time, they discuss his landmark 1977 horror novel, THE SHINING.
This episode covers Parts 1 & 2 (of 5) for the book, where
the reader is introduced to the principle characters and the
setting/premise. Jack Torrance agrees to stay on at the Overlook
Hotel as its winter caretaker along with his wife, Wendy, and
their son, Danny. The threat of cabin fever looms as Danny has
dark premonitions featuring the mysterious “redrum.” 

Topics include: Stephen King’s impact on pop culture, King’s
recounting of how he came up the idea for the novel, the
sometimes confessional nature of fiction, James’ stay at a seedy
motel, why Stephen King doesn’t like Stanley Kubrick’s famous
adaptation, what the creeping of the boiler could represent, the
SK extended universe, King’s love of telepathic children, and the
guys’ personal feelings about the existence of premonitions and
déjà vu.
