They look harmless—mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky twelve-year-old Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the “steam” that children with the “shining” produce when they are slowly tortured to death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father’s legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant “shining” power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes “Doctor Sleep.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan’s own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra’s soul and survival. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of devoted readers of \u003ci\u003eThe Shining\u003c\/i\u003e and satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMystery, Thriller \u0026amp; Suspense\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrillers \u0026amp; Suspense\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupernatural\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eWitches \u0026amp; Wizards\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":48227070836926,"sku":"1476727651-4","price":17.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71At7VPGc6L.jpg?v=1785351614","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/1476727651-doctor_sleep_a_novel","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
