Stephen King has thrown fresh criticism at Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of his novel The Shining.
The Outsider – which features a character from his previous novel Mr Mercedes – is available to own now.
While King remains a fan of Kubrick himself (he has deemed him “a terrifically smart guy” behind “some of the movies that mean a lot to me”), he has reignited his disdain for The Shining in the pages of his new novel, The Outsider.
According to IndieWire, it’s noted in this new book how a character is watching Kubrick’s 1957 war film Paths of Glory because it’s “better than The Shining.”
