Doctor Sleep

Author: Stephen King

Expected Publication Date: September 24th, 2013

---

Synopsis:

On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. 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. Haunted 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.” Then 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 The Shining and satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.

Teaser:

When the dawn was still long hours away, bad thoughts took on flesh and began to walk. In the middle of the night thoughts became zombies.

My Thoughts: There is just no Author that compares to Stephen King, in my own humble opinion. I've spent the greater part of my life lost in his stories and he never fails to enrapture me completely. I cannot wait for this book to be made into a mini-series, it is going to be amazing!!

Teaser:

Their outstretched hands did not quite meet, and Barbie thought again of a pane of glass; putting your inside hand up against the hand of some outside friend, the fingers together but not touching. He pulled his hand back. It was the one he'd used to wipe his bloody nose, and he saw the red shapes of his own fingers hanging on thin air. As he watched, the blood began to bead. Just as it would on glass.

My Thoughts: I am so happy to be reading a Stephen King book again. In my eyes there is just no better writer, except maybe Tolkien. Stephen King books always swallow me hole and even though I know this book is going to take a long time to read because it's super long and I will have to read other books at the same time, I'm glad of  because reading Stephen King just simply makes me happy :D.
