Abstract
The presentation focused on the ways that Stephen King’s experiences living in Colorado in 1974 inspired The Shining, and argued that his influential novel can be understood as “western” story, one bound up in geographic isolation, violent masculinity, alcoholism, criminal land-stealing, and the haunting erasure of indigenous inhabitants.
