King's scariest novel was released in 1977 as a result of a night the adult Kings spent at The Stanley Hotel in Colorado. It was snowy, the hotel was to close for the season in a few days, and Stephen and Tabitha King were among the very few in the large hotel. The seclusion of the setting help refine a story Stephen had been working in his head about a child with psychic powers trapped at an amusement park called Darkshine. What evolved was to become a triumph, an epic as only King could write it.
