Stephen King returns to the character and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance 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, lost of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky twelve-year-old 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 Dans own demons and summons him to 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 devoted readers of The Shining and satisfy anyone new to this icon in the King canon.
Stephen King retoma a los personajes que dejó un tanto inconclusos en El Resplandor para explorar la adultez de Danny Torrance que haga lo que haga no puede escapar de su don.
Simplemente Resplandece.
Eso, ni el alcoholismo puede quitarlo. Cuando uno resplandece (pun intended) no puede evitar llamar la atención, y cuando hay alguien que resplandece tanto como uno, nobleza obliga a ayudarle a librarse de atenciones no solicitadas. Entra Rose La Chistera.
Encantador y aterrorizante personaje que nos regala OTRA, sí, una más, persecución del Maestro S. King.
¿Podrá Danny enfrentar esto con los demonios que literalmente cargas encima? ¿La sombra del Hotel Overlook alguna vez lo dejará en paz?
Te invito a averiguarlo porque yo quedé como siempre, muy satisfecho.
