NY Times Declares Decayed Vampire Horses Could Not Tear Them From Doctor Sleep!

Check out Margret Atwood's review of Doctor Sleep, "SHINE ON, Stephen King’s ‘Shining’ Sequel, ‘Doctor Sleep'" at www.nytimes.com

Atwood gives a fairly thorough walk through of Doctor Sleep's primary themes.  Yes, Dan still Shines.  He's not alone.  In fact, a child named Abra shines even better.  That's an amazing thought, if you remember how Danny almost knocked poor Dick right off his feet when he shined. Atwood also tells us that the bad guys in Doctor Sleep re  "rackety" group of entertainers clled True Knot.  They want to "drink her spiritual mist" or "steam."  If you remember the book, the Overlook didn't come out so well in The Shining.  Atwood tells us that the True Knotters have made the destroyed hotel their "min encampment."

Atwood energetically says:

Wild ectoplasmic partly decayed vampire horses would not tear from me the story of what happens next, but let me assure you King is a pro: by the end of this book your fingers will be mere stubs of their former selves, and you will be looking askance at the people in the supermarket line, because if they turn around they might have metallic eyes. King’s inventiveness and skill show no signs of slacking: “Doctor Sleep” has all the virtues of his best work.
