An epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of hyper-devoted readers of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.
King says he wanted to know what happened to Danny Torrance, the boy at the heart of The Shining,
after his terrible experience in the Overlook Hotel. The instantly
riveting DOCTOR SLEEP picks up the story of the now middle-aged Dan,
working at a hospice in rural New Hampshire, and the very special
twelve-year old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.
On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True
Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless - mostly old,
lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows,
and tween Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living
off the 'steam' that children with the 'shining' produce when they are
slowly tortured to death.
Haunted by the inhabitants of the
Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been
drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's legacy of despair,
alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town,
an AA community that sustains him and a job at a nursing home where his
remnant 'shining' power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying.
Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes 'Doctor Sleep.'
Then Dan
meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the
brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan's own demons and summons
him to a battle for Abra's soul
