Résumé

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. King says he wanted to know what happened to Danny Torrance, the boy at the heart of The Shining, after his terrible experience in the Overlook Hotel. The instantly riveting DOCTOR SLEEP picks up the story of the now middle-aged Dan, working at a hospice in rural New Hampshire, 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' that 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 .

Stephen King
Écrivain américain né le 21 septembre 1947 dans le Maine, Stephen King collectionne les récompenses littéraires. Caractérisé par beaucoup comme le maître des romans horrifiques, il a écrit et publié plus de 50 romans et 200 nouvelles. Très populaire et prolifique, son génie vient de sa façon de faire monter en puissance ses histoires macabres dans un suspense haletant jusqu'à un final toujours surprenant. On retient de sa carrière littéraire de nombreux romans cultes tels que l'oppressant Shining, adapté avec brio au cinéma par le grand Stanley Kubrick. Découvrez aussi 22/11/63 dans lequel un professeur d'anglais remonte dans le passé afin d'empêcher l'assassinat de Kennedy. Mais cela ne sera pas sans conséquences... Quel que soit le thème abordé par ce fantastique romancier, il réussit à nous faire frissonner de plaisir en distillant des éléments horrifiques et fantastiques dans notre univers quotidien. C'est cela qui fait de lui un auteur incontournable. Si vous appréciez les romans à suspense, notre communauté de lecteurs et libraires vous conseille Le prisonnier du ciel de Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Troisième humanité de Bernard Werber ou encore Le poète de Michael Connelly. Quel que soit votre genre de prédilection (policier, fantastique, science-fiction...), vous trouvez le livre qu'il vous faut dans le format désiré en profitant des meilleurs prix.
