The real antagonists this time are an itinerant cult called the True Knot, who travel the United States in Winnebagos and survive into extended lifespans by feeding on a psychic essence they call "Steam". In the past, the legacy of Jack Torrance and the events at the Overlook Hotel have driven Dan to alcoholism, but he's now sober, if fragile.Īngry ghosts from the Overlook still haunt him, but he keeps them trapped in "lockboxes" in his mind.
That's how he earned the nickname of the title. The story finds Danny – now the more mature Dan – in New Hampshire, working in a hospice, where his psychic "Shining" ability helps ease terminally ill patients in their final moments. It begins with the aphorism "FEAR stands for Fuck Everything And Run".
Stephen King revealed that he was writing the novel in 2011, and it was published in 2013. Doctor Sleep is a sequel to The Shining, picking up the story of Danny Torrance as an adult.
