“There came a time when you realized that moving on was pointless. That you took yourself with you wherever you went.”
Book:Doctor Sleep
Quote by Stephen King
Work
Doctor Sleep
Doctor Sleep follows Daniel Torrance as an adult dealing with the lingering effects of his terrifying experiences at the Overlook Hotel. Now middle-aged and battling his own demons including alcoholism, Danny finds tentative peace working at a hospice in New Hampshire. His life changes when he encounters Abra Stone, a young girl with powerful psychic abilities known as the shining. The story explores themes of childhood trauma, addiction recovery, redemption, and the protection of innocence. The novel blends elements of psychological horror with a more contemplative examination of human resilience and the ways in which past experiences shape adult life. As with many of King's works, the book deals with the supernatural and the boundary between the visible and invisible worlds, while also grounding its narrative in very real struggles of everyday existence. more
