About this listen

Winner of the 2014 Audie Award for Fiction and Finalist for Solo Narration—Male

From master storyteller Stephen King, his unforgettable and terrifying sequel to The Shining—an instant #1 New York Times bestseller that is “[a] vivid frightscape” (The New York Times)—also a major motion picture starring Ewan McGregor!

Years ago, the haunting of the Overlook Hotel nearly broke young Dan Torrance’s sanity, as his paranormal gift known as “the shining” opened a door straight into hell. And even though Dan is all grown up, the ghosts of the Overlook—and his father’s legacy of alcoholism and violence—kept him drifting aimlessly for most of his life. Now, Dan has finally found some order in the chaos by working in a local hospice, earning the nickname “Doctor Sleep” by secretly using his special abilities to comfort the dying and prepare them for the afterlife. But when he unexpectedly meets twelve-year-old Abra Stone—who possesses an even more powerful manifestation of the shining—the two find their lives in sudden jeopardy at the hands of the ageless and murderous nomadic tribe known as the True Knot, reigniting Dan’s own demons and summoning him to battle for this young girl’s soul and survival...

This was a great follow up to The Shining. Performance was spot on and even though I usually lose interest in longer books this one kept me hooked.

Thank you for this classic.

might be a weird descriptor, but this was truly a beautiful story. it's horror, addiction, trauma, family, loss, hope, resistance, and.... humanity.

I loved this book, it's amazing how it picks up and keeps the momentum throughout.

Haunting narration voice, and it fits!

I spent nearly 3 months listening to this book at my bedtime. I enjoyed it a lot. A great follow up to The Shining. Part of me wishes Campbell Scott's buttery voice was narrating, like he had with The Shining, for continuity sake. Will Patton is a fantastic narrator in his own right though.

Great bedtime story.

The first 20 minutes I was regretting using a credit for this title but I’m glad I gave it a chance! Now, three hours in, I have to say I find this book gripping and very intriguing. I’d say - pardon the controversy I’m about to cause - I’m liking this so far more than the first book, The Shining. Glad I didn’t quit the audiobook. Can’t put it down, or in this case: I can’t hit pause.

Utterly gripping - glad I took a chance!
