Here is a trailer that Stephen King’s publisher has unveiled for the upcoming sequel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep. The book is set to hit the stores on September 24th.
Synopsis:
“Stephen
King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels
ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged
Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special
twelve-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.
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 tween Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal,
living off the “steam” those 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 hyper-devoted
readers of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this
icon in the King canon."
