Doctor Sleep is a gripping continuation of Stephen King's The Shining, focusing on the now middle-aged Dan Torrance, the boy protagonist of the original novel.
Dan has struggled with his past, haunted by the horrors of the Overlook Hotel and battling alcoholism, but he finds purpose working at a nursing home, using his psychic "shining" to comfort the dying.
He encounters Abra Stone, a gifted twelve-year-old girl with the most powerful shining ever seen, who becomes a target for a sinister tribe called The True Knot.
The True Knot are quasi-immortal parasites that feed on the psychic "steam" of tortured children, and Dan must protect Abra from their deadly grasp.
The novel is an epic battle between good and evil, filled with horror, hope, and Stephen King’s signature storytelling, satisfying both fans of The Shining and new readers alike.
