三星半,角色都挺好的,但故事總體比較沒意思。
評分現在看他的書都不覺得可怕瞭,頓時失去瞭感覺。 中規中矩的一部書,越來越不喜歡他的斜體心聲描寫
評分跟閃靈相比 視覺元素豐富瞭很多 最後直接變成正邪大對決 整體還算精彩

Stephen Edwin King was born the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. After his father left them when Stephen was two, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Her parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of them. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support. After Stephen's grandparents passed away, Mrs. King found work in the kitchens of Pineland, a nearby residential facility for the mentally challenged.
Stephen attended the grammar school in Durham and Lisbon Falls High School, graduating in 1966. From his sophomore year at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, THE MAINE CAMPUS. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of the Student Senate. He came to support the anti-war movement on the Orono campus, arriving at his stance from a conservative view that the war in Vietnam was unconstitutional. He graduated in 1970, with a B.A. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level. A draft board examination immediately post-graduation found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums.
He met Tabitha Spruce in the stacks of the Fogler Library at the University, where they both worked as students; they married in January of 1971. As Stephen was unable to find placement as a teacher immediately, the Kings lived on his earnings as a laborer at an industrial laundry, and her student loan and savings, with an occasional boost from a short story sale to men's magazines.
Stephen made his first professional short story sale ("The Glass Floor") to Startling Mystery Stories in 1967. Throughout the early years of his marriage, he continued to sell stories to men's magazines. Many were gathered into the Night Shift collection or appeared in other anthologies.
In the fall of 1971, Stephen began teaching English at Hampden Academy, the public high school in Hampden, Maine. Writing in the evenings and on the weekends, he continued to produce short stories and to work on novels.
Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Book of the Month, September 2013: What ever happened to Danny Torrance? For the 36 years since The Shining was first published, the answer has been left to our imaginations. Finally we catch up with Dan as his creator envisions him: a flawed middle-aged man with a tragic past -- his special gift, "shining," dulled with age and alcohol. He's "Doctor Sleep" now, a hospice worker who eases the end of patients' lives. He also happens to be the only one who can help a little girl with her own special gift. This is not simply The Shining II. Not only does this story stand on its own, it manages to magnify the supernatural quality that first drew us to young Danny, expanding its mystery and its intensity in a way that might even reach beyond this book into the rest of the King-iverse... and beyond. (Easter egg alert: look for the nod to King's son Joe Hill's recent book N0S4A2.) --Robin A. Rothman
From Publishers Weekly
Iconic horror author King (Joyland) picks up the narrative threads of The Shining many years on. Young psychic Danny Torrance has become a middle-aged alcoholic (he now goes by Dan), bearing his powers and his guilt as equal burdens. A lucky break gets him a job in a hospice in a small New England town. Using his abilities to ease the passing of the terminally ill, he remains blissfully unaware of the actions of the True Knot, a caravan of human parasites crisscrossing the map in their RVs as they search for children with the shining (psychic abilities of the kind that Dan possesses), upon whom they feed. When a girl named Abra Stone is born with powers that dwarf Dan&'s, she attracts the attention of the True Knot&'s leader—the predatory Rose the Hat. Dan is forced to help Abra confront the Knot, and face his own lingering demons. Less terrifying than its famous predecessor, perhaps because of the author&'s obvious affection for even the most repellant characters, King&'s latest is still a gripping, taut read that provides a satisfying conclusion to Danny Torrance&'s story.

From Booklist
King, not one given to sequels, throws fans a big, bloody bone with this long-drooled-for follow-up to The Shining (1977). The events of the Overlook Hotel had resounding effects upon Danny Torrance, and decades later he’s a drunk like his father, wondering what his battle with the “ghosties” was even for. Dan still feels the pull of the shining, though, and it lands him in a small New England town where he finds friends, an AA group, and a job at a hospice, where his ability to ease patients into death earns him the moniker Doctor Sleep. Ten years sober, he telepathically meets the “great white whale” of shining—12-year-old Abra—who has drawn the attention of the True Knot, an evil RV caravan of shining-eating quasi-vampires, one part Cooger & Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show and one part Manson’s dune-buggy attack battalion. Though the book is very poignantly bookended, the battle between Dan/Abra and the True’s “Queen Bitch of Castle Hell” is relegated to a psychic slugfest—not really the stuff of high tension. Regardless, seeing phrases like “REDRUM” and “officious prick” in print again is pretty much worth the asking price. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Even for a King book, this is high profile. The Shining is often considered King’s best novel, so even lapsed fans should come out of the woodwork for this one. --Daniel Kraus
Review
Obviously a masterpiece, probably the best supernatural novel in a hundred years. -- Peter Straub on The Shining The most remarkable storyteller in modern American literature. -- Mark Lawson, Guardian
之前在书店挑的时候,看见有两种不同的cover,这本有眼神诡异的猫猫,深得我心。 整本书前前后后断断续续看了好久,中间插着还看了其他书,因为前半部分读起来让人有点失落。本来以为续集应该延续了闪灵的breathtaking的感觉,期待中应该是Dan从小经历了一系列毁童年的...
評分 評分提起斯蒂芬金的著作,绝绕不开创作于70年代末的那部经典之作《闪灵》,在这部小说中,具有闪灵能力的小男孩丹尼尔与父母一起来到全景饭店,在饭店中经历了一系列恐怖、惊异之事,最终的一场爆炸似乎让所有的事情有了了结,但读者却始终心心念那个有闪灵能力的男孩的命运,于是...
評分多产的劳伦斯·布洛克创作了好几个侦探小说系列,其中之一是侦探马修。马修和大部分侦探一样阴郁孤独,工作之外的他实在算不上开心。马修酗酒。 “我叫马修,我是一个酒鬼。”这是在戒酒会上的开场白。有一些布洛克的书迷,可能会是女生,一边一本一本地读马...
評分《长眠医生》在史蒂芬金的小说里只能算是中等,从情节的角度来说,还有点偏下。还是熟悉的套路,熟悉的故事。特异功能,有悲伤过去的中年男子,小镇,丧心病狂,却又有自己温情一面的反派,大决斗。这些都是他熟悉的情节,熟悉的套路,从《神秘火焰》,《死亡区域》,《绿里》...
