"The Shining" by Stephen King

Stephen King's third novel and his first hardcover best-seller, The Shining, tells the story of the Torrance family -- Jack, Wendy, and their son, Danny -- and their experiences at the Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies, where Jack has a job as the off-season caretaker. A recovering alcoholic and aspiring writer, Jack hopes the time in the empty resort will allow him to work on his novel and repair his fraying relationship with his wife and son. 

But the hotel has other ideas...

Danny's psychic abilities -- dubbed 'the shining' by the former Overlook caretaker, who also possesses the gift -- connect him to the Overlook's past tragedies and bring him grisly, murderous nightmares and visions.

When Danny resists the hotel's dark powers, it turns them on Jack, twisting his anger issues into a desire to murder his family. 

And Danny knows it's worked before...
