Synopsis
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 and survival. This
is 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.
