The sequel to the Shining. This follows what happened after Danny Torrence survived the horrors of the Overlook Hotel. A lot of the novel is following Dan in his descent into alcoholism just like his father before him. And then following him on his recovery, so that he can help a young girl who has attracted the attention of a roving group of Shining vampires. Stephen King has a consistency that even 30 years on allows him to continue writing great novels. Seems to me there is a third novel that could be written to make it a trilogy if he wanted.
Something that was a little interesting and different about this book and I wonder if it was deliberate, was that the bad guys, while evil and scary, were never particularly dangerous. Dan and Abra seemed to be a far more dangerous pair than the group of True Knot that were hunting them. Possibly because they were so used to hunting unaware children, that when confronted with someone ready to fight back, they were outmatched, but throughout the story, I never felt that they were in any danger. They could have lost, but they seemed like the stronger force.
I liked the last little bit at the end when a familiar face showed up and gave a little wave.
