Is The Shining a too scary novel?

Yes, it is. The Shining novel creates a creepy and tense atmosphere that can be quite terrifying.

It's extremely scary. The way the author builds tension and creates creepy atmospheres makes it a terrifying read.

Nope. 'The Shining' isn't epistolary. Stephen King crafted the story using standard storytelling techniques rather than the epistolary format where the plot progresses through exchanged letters or documents.

These stories usually set a spooky mood at the beginning. Maybe with a description of a dark and quiet place. However, the danger or the 'scary' part is not extreme. In the case of the old house on the hill, the shadowy figure seems scary but is quickly debunked as just a tree branch's shadow. This makes it just enough to give you a bit of a chill but not keep you up at night in fear.

It depends. If you have a well - stocked local library with a good fiction section, it might be quite easy. Just check their online catalogue or visit in person. But if your local library has a small collection, it could be more difficult.

Wendy Torrance, Jack's wife, is a strong - willed woman. She tries to hold the family together, especially when Jack starts to act strangely. She is resourceful, as seen when she tries to protect Danny from Jack when he goes mad. She is also a symbol of the normal world trying to survive in the midst of the supernatural chaos of the Overlook Hotel.

I'm not sure specifically as there could be many novels that might be described as'shining'. It could refer to a novel with a very positive or outstanding story, characters that shine in their own ways, or a plot that is so brilliant it stands out like a shining star. Maybe it's about a character's journey to self - discovery and they end up shining in their new - found identity.

Since we only have the name'shining novel', it's really difficult to determine the author. It could be an indie author whose work isn't widely known yet, or it could be a new release that hasn't made a big splash in terms of the author becoming well - known. There's just not enough information to say for sure.

It was Room 217 in the novel. Stephen King chose this specific room number for its ominous and mysterious connotations.

Sure, the twins were a part of the story. They played significant roles in adding to the creepy and mysterious atmosphere of the novel.
