Förtidspeppar King

Det här är det enda omslaget som jag har lyckats hitta av Stephen Kings uppföljare till The Shining, boken Doctor Sleep, så jag vet inte riktigt om detta är ett riktig omslag eller inte men holländskt är det i alla fall. Nu har de skjutit upp release datumet till den 20 september och jag håller lite på att dö av frustration. För det var väl i januari som den skulle släppas först eller...? Oavsett så kan jag vänta. För Kings spökisar är ju de allra bästa. 

Så här beskrivs boken på Kings hemsida:

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 as Dan Torrance knows, and tween Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the “steam” that children with the “shining” produce when they are slowly tortured to death.

Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, 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. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of hyper-devoted readers of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon
