For fans of Stephen King's The
Shining, the countdown is on for the September 24th
release of its sequel, Doctor Sleep, featuring a 25-year-old
Dan Torrance. The protagonist is still battling his memories from the
Overlook Hotel and his father's legacy of alcoholism and violence.
Torrance must take on a new challenge in saving the young Abra Stone,
who has “the brightest shining ever seen,” from a wandering band
of murderous paranormals.
It sounds like vintage King with all
the action and excellent story-telling we have come to expect from
his novels. The sequel also appears to have a good dose of King's
sardonic humor thrown in, and we may never look at those seemingly
innocuous RVs in the same light again!
I'm looking forward to reading the
sequel but, regardless, The Shining will remain one of my
favorite King novels where everything works together: excellent
characterization, an extremely good story, and a setting that
enhances the psychological horror of the novel.

I'm actually looking forward to this one a lot! The Shining is a literature masterpiece and one of the best books I've ever read. Only to be surpassed by the film.
