Doctor Sleep

Danny Torrance, the young boy from The Shining, is back in Doctor Sleep.  Clearly, the events that took place in the Overlook Hotel have affected him - he's a drunk just like his dad - and he has been haunted by the hotel's inhabitants ever since.

Danny ends up settling in a New Hampshire town and gets a job in a nursing home where his "shining" abilities provide a crucial final comfort to the terminally ill.  When Dan meets Abra Stone, it is her spectacular shining gift, that reignites Dan’s own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra’s soul and survival. 

"Less terrifying than its famous predecessor, perhaps because of the author's obvious affection for even the most repellent characters, King's latest is still a gripping, taut read that provides a satisfying conclusion to Danny Torrance's story." - Publishers Weekly Reviews
