Doctor Sleep. Stephen King (First Edition Hardback) 2013

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 polyeaster, and devoted to their comfortable Recreational Vehicles. But they live off the 'steam' that children with the ;shining' produce when they are slowly tortured tio death.

Following a childhood haunted by the time he spent with his parents at the Overlook Hotel, Dan Torrance has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's legacy of despair, aloholism, and violence. Finally, he settles into a job at a nursing home in rural New Hampshire where his remnant 'shining' power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a precient cat, Dan 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....
