Overview
Notes From Your Bookseller
Doctor Sleep, Stephen King revisits the chilling legacy of The Shining in a haunting, emotionally rich sequel. Dan Torrance, scarred by the horrors of his childhood, drifts through adulthood until he settles in New Hampshire and earns the nickname “Doctor Sleep” by using his psychic gift to comfort the dying. When twelve-year-old Abra Stone, gifted with an even more powerful “shining,” reaches out to him, Dan is thrust into a desperate battle against the True Knot—a sinister cult of quasi-immortals feeding on the psychic “steam” released by tortured children. King weaves together themes of addiction, trauma, redemption, and the enduring bonds of empathy. With 531 pages of immersive storytelling, Doctor Sleep is as much a paranormal thriller as it is a meditation on healing, connection, and confronting inner demons. Fans of The Shining will find both continuity and renewed tension, while new readers can sink into a standalone tale filled with dark wonder. This novel proves that King’s ability to merge the supernatural with the deeply human remains frighteningly compelling.
