About
Step into the haunted hallways of Stephen King's The Shining in this immersive 6-week virtual seminar. Together, we'll explore the chilling origins of the novel, tracing the real-life inspirations and psychological undercurrents that shaped one of horror's most enduring works. Beyond the familiar story, we'll uncover the rarely discussed prologue and epilogue--- "Before the Play" and "After the Play"---to examine how these deleted pieces deepen the mythology of the Overlook Hotel. Through close reading, discussion, and critical analysis, this course invites you to confront the ghosts that linger within the text.
