Red Rum was the plot device in Stephen King's hugely popular novel The Shining. If one reads the phrase "red rum" backwards, and considers the number of other horrible things that happen within the novel, then it is extremely clear what it is in place for.

"Red Rum" was used as a plot device in Stephen King's novel "The Shining." In the story, the word is repeatedly written by the young son, Danny, as a warning about the dangerous events happening at the Overlook Hotel. The phrase is a clue that when read backward, it spells "murder," hinting at the sinister events that unfold.
