Description:
“I liked you, honeybear.
That’s why I came to warn you. Stay away from the woman in the hat.”
Years ago, the haunting
of the Overlook Hotel nearly broke young Dan Torrance’s sanity, as his
paranormal gift known as “the shining” opened a door straight into hell. And
even though Dan is all grown up, the ghosts of the Overlook – and his father’s
legacy of alcoholism and violence – kept him drifting aimlessly for most of his
life. Now, Dan has finally found some order in the chaos by working in a local
hospice, earning the nickname “Doctor Sleep” by secretly using his special
abilities to comfort the dying and prepare them for the afterlife. But when he
unexpectedly meets twelve-year-old Abra Stone – who possesses an even more
powerful manifestation of the shining – the two find their lives in sudden
jeopardy at the hands of the ageless and murderous nomadic tribe known as the
True Knot, reigniting Dan’s own demons and summoning him to battle for this
young girl’s soul and survival...
