Stephen King revisits the world of The Shining in Doctor Sleep, a gripping tale about a now middle-aged Dan Torrance and a special 12-year-old girl named Abra Stone. Dan, still haunted by his traumatic past at the Overlook Hotel, has been drifting for years, struggling to overcome his father's dark legacy. Now settled in a New Hampshire town, Dan uses his remaining "shining" abilities at a nursing home, where he becomes known as "Doctor Sleep."

The story unfolds as Dan encounters Abra, a young girl with an extraordinary "shining" power. Together, they must confront The True Knot, a tribe of quasi-immortal beings who feed on the "steam" produced by tortured children with the shining. This epic battle between good and evil will captivate both longtime fans of The Shining and newcomers to King's work.
