Doctor Sleep

Meer over het boek

Stephen King revisits the characters and world of one of his most beloved novels in this gripping tale about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance, the boy from The Shining, and a remarkable 12-year-old girl he must protect from a group of deadly paranormals. Known as The True Knot, this tribe travels across America, appearing harmless with their old age and RVs. However, they are quasi-immortal, feeding on the "steam" produced by children with the "shining" when they are tortured to death. Haunted by his traumatic past at the Overlook Hotel, Dan has spent years trying to escape his father's legacy of despair and addiction. He eventually finds solace in a New Hampshire town, where an AA community supports him and his job at a nursing home allows him to use his residual "shining" to comfort the dying. When he encounters the extraordinary Abra Stone, whose shining is the brightest he has ever seen, Dan is drawn back into a struggle against his own demons and the dark forces threatening her life. This narrative unfolds as an epic battle between good and evil, delivering a thrilling experience for both devoted fans and newcomers to King's work.
