Doctor Sleep by Stephen King: 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. Check Availability
