december book club: the shining by stephen king

we’re excited to announce our december book club selection: the shining by stephen king! set in the remote, snowbound overlook hotel, this modern gothic follows the torrance family as they settle in for a long winter as the hotel’s caretakers. what begins as a quiet retreat quickly unravels into a chilling descent into isolation, hauntings, and psychological terror. with its eerie atmosphere and slow-building dread, the shining remains one of king’s most iconic explorations of madness, memory, and the supernatural. king was inspired to write the novel after staying in the nearly empty stanley hotel in colorado, where he had a vivid nightmare of his son being chased through the halls — a vision that became the seed for the story. can’t wait to brave this haunting winter read together!
