Winner of the 2014 Audie Award for Fiction and Finalist for Solo Narration--Male 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...

Epic sequel to "The Shining"
Picks up in aftermath of the horrific events that took place at the Overlook Hotel.
As Danny Torrance, now Dan, grows older and tries to deal with his "gift", he becomes an alcoholic with anger issues. (Just like his Dad). He roams from town to town picking up odd jobs, often as an orderly in nursing homes. When his problems cause him to lose a job, he moves on.
Eventually, some 35 years hence, he ends up in Frazier, New Hampshire where he decides to quit drinking and joins AA.
He gets a job at a hospice and uses his gift of the "shine" to help dying patients pass over. Thus becoming known as "Doctor Sleep".
He gets connected with a young girl. a wonderful character named Abra Stone who has a "shining" even more powerful than his.
Meanwhile, there's a group a quasi-vampires, the True Knot, who roam the country and feed off the "steam" or essence of children with the "shining" that they torture to make the "steam" more powerful.
The story twists and turns (with one goose-bumpingly, jaw-dropping moment) to an epic confrontation.
Beautiful writing. Just superb. (less)
