FOLLOWING A CHILDHOOD HAUNTED BY TERRIFYING EVENTS AT THE OVERLOOK HOTEL, DANNY TORRANCE HAS BEEN DRIFTING FOR DECADES.

Finally he settles into a job at a nursing home where he draws on his remnant 'shining' power to help people pass on.

then he meets Abra Stone, a young girl with the brightest 'shining' ever seen. But her gift is attracting a tribe of paranormals.. They may look harmless, old and devoted to their Recreational Vehicles, but The True Knot live off the 'steam' that children like Abra produce.

Now Dan must confront his old demons as he battles for Abra's soul and survival...

Review of 'Doctor Sleep' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

Pretty disappointing. Feel like King is pretty far removed from what it feels like to talk or think like a pre-adolescent girl. Also PLEASE stop with the sexual descriptions/acts that add nothing to the narrative. and weird "this girl is going to look HOT when she's older". Also, really not thrilling, and Rose is really stupid. Surely someone is not that proud so as to underestimate a girl to this level. If so, her pride could be made clearer or something? Idk. Really disappointing. And sad for the lack of any actual horror.
