The Shining was a great book but you have to read Dark Half and Misery by Stephen King. You wont be disappointed

Once upon a time in a neighborhood far, far away…

I don’t drink much; hardly at all. Although I do make a mean rum drink that will knock your socks off and most likely the rest of your attire as well but I don’t make it often and I certainly didn’t make this drink all those years ago when this particular story takes place.
Since I was the one that didn’t drink whenever I hung out with friends I was always the designated driver. I didn’t mind it gave me stories to tell; like this one. One time there was a group of us, we had gone to a wrestling match with all the big names at the time, Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan before he was erased from the history books and later we went to some bar/grill and they had pretty much drunk themselves into new kidneys. So, as the driver, I took everyone home but I drove my friend Lamberts car (I was not having these idiots throwing up in my car. Oh and I think its important to note that three members of the group were women and, YES, they were just as drunk as the men.) I finally get everyone home and, Lambert; who kept insisting that he could take care of himself, was the last drop off. I pulled his car into the drive, shut it off, walked him to his front door and UNLOCK HIS FRONT DOOR. I pushed him into the door and I said “You’re home. Go in, lock the door and sleep it off” He cusses at me, which he often did when he drank; he was a loud drinker, and I leave. I walk up to the main street, hail a cab and go home. Two hours later I get a call from the police. This idiot Lambert, who swore he was fine and was at his own home, was picked up by the police three doors down from his house on the corner trying to use his house keys to unlock the door at the Kentucky Fried Chicken.
WAIT! It gets better!!!
The officer told me when they got there this fool was yelling into the window at his wife for changing the locks. And he hadn’t been married in over five years.

I just finished reading DOCTOR NO by Ian Flemming; it was so good I picked up another of his entitled DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. Am reading it now
