The sequel to The Shining. 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 they are quasi-immortal, living off the 'steam' that children with the shining produce when they are slowly tortured to death. Following a childhood haunted by the time he spent with his parents at the Overlook Hotel, 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... -

In this volume: The Langoliers: A handful of passengers on a packed red-eye flight awake to find all the other passengers and crew vanished, the plane still in the air...they manage to land the plane at a dead, silent terminal and all that would be bad enough - but one of the survivors has brought his demons with him... Secret Window, Secret Garden: Recently divorced writer Mort Rainey is alone at Tashmore Lake - that is, until a figure named John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger. The Library Policeman: In Junction City, Iowa, middle-aged businessman Sam Peebles happens to have some overdue books. It seems a minor offence - but not to Junction City's malevolent monster of a librarian. The Sun Dog: A simple Polaroid camera owned by a 15-year-old boy in the small town of Castle Rock, Maine, always produces a photograph of an enormous, ugly, vicious looking dog, no matter where Kevin Delevan aims the lens. In each successive picture, the menacing creature draws nearer to the flat surface of the Polaroid film as if it intends to break through. When old Pop Merrill, the town's sharpest trader, gets wind of this phenomenon, he envisions a way to profit from it but the Sun Dog, a beast that shouldn't exist at all, turns out to be a very dangerous investment.
