Description



About the Book



The now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) must save a very special 12-year-old girl from a tribe of murderous paranormals.



Book Synopsis



Now a major motion picture starring Ewan McGregor!

From master storyteller Stephen King, his unforgettable and terrifying sequel to The Shining--an instant #1 New York Times bestseller that is "[a] vivid frightscape" (The New York Times).

Years ago, the haunting of the Overlook Hotel nearly broke young Dan Torrance's sanity, as his paranormal gift known as "the shining" opened a door straight into hell. And even though Dan is all grown up, the ghosts of the Overlook--and his father's legacy of alcoholism and violence--kept him drifting aimlessly for most of his life. Now, Dan has finally found some order in the chaos by working in a local hospice, earning the nickname "Doctor Sleep" by secretly using his special abilities to comfort the dying and prepare them for the afterlife. But when he unexpectedly meets twelve-year-old Abra Stone--who possesses an even more powerful manifestation of the shining--the two find their lives in sudden jeopardy at the hands of the ageless and murderous nomadic tribe known as the True Knot, reigniting Dan's own demons and summoning him to battle for this young girl's soul and survival...

Good read

As a fan of The Shining, I can absolutely say Doctor Sleep does justice as a sequel. Most sequels often seem to grasp onto most the prequel’s plot but not this book. Stephen King does a good job at telling a sturdy story of the aftermaths of Danny’s experience at the Overlook that trembled into his adult life. A broad lineup of characters that all contributed to the overall essence of the story. Overall, I’ve yet to watch the movie for comparison, but I definitely recommend the book.
