Do you remember the little kid from The Shining? Have you wondered how he’d be like as an adult after surviving a scary hotel that drove his drunken father insane? Stephen King has now told us what happens to Danny Torrance, and he’s just as screwed up from the experience as you’d expect him to be. Because of Dan’s past, his father’s life of alcoholism keep Dan drifting for years. Due to an AA community, he has been sober, and Dan’s gift can present itself more clearly. He meets a young girl because of this gift, Abra Stone. I will intertwine Dan’s story with Abra’s, as well as the True Knot. I will predict what could happen in the near future for Dan, Abra, and the True Knot. I will be evaluating if this book is a good interpretation to Danny

Andi’s powers include telling men what to do as they’re in her trance, and she has successfully told a man not to remember her. The next time, Dan was outside on a snowy winter night, talking with his dead ex- girlfriend. Out of nowhere, she told Dan, “Stay away from the woman in the hat. She’s the queen of Castle Hell. If you mess with her, she’ll eat you alive” (King 89). Coincidently, a woman is the leader of True Knot. Her name is Rose, and she is often seen wearing a hat. Some various other times include Dan seeing a recruitment poster for True Knot, Rose sensed Abra watching her as she killed a young boy, and Abra communicating to Dan through his …show more content…
I feared the idea of him returning to one of his most famous books, but it turned out to have lots of things I like about it. Doctor Sleep is two separate stories. One is about Dan Torrance, struggling to come to terms with his past abilities, and coating it with alcohol. The second is the fight to save a young girl from a group of powerful vampires. King does a fantastic job combining these two intersecting perspectives, while also revisiting some elements from The
