An evil inhuman race masked in the image of senior citizens thrive on the killing of young children which enables this horrid race of beings to live near immortal lives.
"Doctor Sleep," Stephen King's, 50th novel, is the sequel to his 1977 book, "The Shining." Danny Torrance, the little boy in "The Shining" is now a grown man in "Doctor Sleep" who rejuvenates his ability to shine and communicate telepathically with 12-year-old Abra Stone.
Stone's shining powers would greatly benefit the True Knot, (the non humans) via killing her and absorbing the essence of her soul.
Rose O' Hara also known as the Hat because she often wears a top hat is the leader of the True Knot's 40 or so crew who travel about the states in 14 RVs seeking out children with the ability to shine. The children they catch are murdered and buried at dawn. The essence of their young souls are stored in a unique silver canister by the Hat.
All the members of the True Knot gather together, and O' Hara opens one silver canister which omits the soul of the children in a white or red smoke form and is inhaled by the Knot. Each canister will sustain the entire Knot clan for about six weeks.
By the age of 6 or 7-years-old, Stone begins having night terrors so intense that her mother Lucy is ripped from her sleep from her daughter's screams. Torrance and Stone team up to combat the True Knot.
Twelve-year-old Stone and O'Hara begin shining with one another from across many states. Stone refers to O'Hara (the hat) as the Queen Bitch from Castle Hell and challenges the Hat to a one on one duel at the base camp of the True Knot's location where the Overlook Hotel once stood before in was burned to the ground.
The Overlook Hotel is where Torrance was haunted by the bloody ghost girls in the white dresses.
"Doctor Sleep" has gripping eerie elements of the supernatural and the heart felt laughter of the human souls bright side. Two solid thumbs up for the book "Doctor Sleep."
