Dan Torrance's "co-workers at Rivington House knew he had something, but most of them called it empathy and let it go at that. The last thing he wanted, now that his life had begun to settle down, was to get a reputation as some sort of parlor psychic." The Shining was actually stronger now than it was during his childhood and the fateful events at the Overlook Hotel. Dan is Doctor Sleep, as he - with the assistance of Azzie the cat, helps the elderly hospice patients pass. The True Knot is an RV driving assortment of old timers rendered young again by Steamheads, or those with the gift of shining. Abra has it in abundance and the True Knot wants her. Stephen King wrote this follow up to The Shining after repeated fan requests. While perhaps not as scary as The Shining, Doctor Sleep is riveting, thought provoking, and perhaps at times a philosophical read. Great vintage King!
