"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."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 spunky twelve-year-old Abra Stone le...

Sequels are a rarity for King, with the exception of The Talisman duo with Peter Straub and the brilliant Dark Tower series, so I must admit I was rather excited to read this book. Dan Torrance was a 5 year old chil...
