About This Book

The sequel to The Shining. Danny Torrance, now in his forties and working in a hospice where his gift allows him to ease the dying, encounters a young girl named Abra who has an extraordinary psychic power called the 'True Knot'—a tribe of quasi-immortal beings who feed on the psychic steam of children with the Shining. A terrifying confrontation between two generations of the gifted unfolds.
