Doctor Sleep by Stephen King
The novel follows Dan Torrance, the traumatized son of Jack Torrance from "The Shining," as he struggles with alcoholism and his psychic abilities. Now an adult, Dan finds solace working at a hospice where he uses his powers to comfort dying patients, earning the nickname "Doctor Sleep." His life takes a dramatic turn when he encounters Abra Stone, a young girl with powerful psychic abilities, who becomes the target of a sinister group called the True Knot. This group feeds on the "steam" produced by children with the shining as they are tortured to death. Dan must confront his past and embrace his abilities to protect Abra and defeat the True Knot, leading to a climactic showdown that tests his courage and resilience.
