According to the website blurb, Doctor Sleep, will take Dan Torrance into new but familiar territory, and will introduce new character Abra Stone.
Book description taken from the Stephen King site
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.
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. 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.
