![]() 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. ![]() 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. Set several decades after the events of its predecessor, the film stars Ewan McGregor as Danny Torrance, a man with psychic abilities who struggles with childhood trauma. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes “Doctor Sleep.” It is based on the 2013 Stephen King novel of the same name, and is a sequel to Stanley Kubrick 's The Shining (1980). 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. 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. But as Dan Torrance knows, and tween 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. They look harmless-mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. ![]() ![]() On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. ![]()
