Doctor Sleep by Stephen King







Stephen King brings the character, Dan Torrance from THE SHINING, back 30 yrs into the future. Danny was the little boy who could see the ghosts in the Overlook Hotel. Now, he uses alcohol to silence the voices of the dead. He is as low as he can go until he arrives in Frazer, New Hampshire, and finds work. His boss challenges him to join AA and helps him kick the habit. This, of course, allows the Shining to gain strength, and he eventually finds another child with the Shining, but she is incredibly powerful.

There is a mobile group that feed off the power of the Shining and they too have sensed young Abra. Dan, Abra and their friends must the group or end up dead.


The story took a long time to set up, but once it ready, this story raced ahead like a run-away freight train. The suspense and action is King, at his best.  This story will stay with me for some time.
