About this listen

Auf Amerikas Highways ist eine mörderische Sekte unterwegs. Sie hat es auf Kinder abgesehen, die das Shining haben. Stephen King kehrt zu den Figuren und Szenerien eines seiner berühmtesten Romane zurück: Der Dreirad fahrende kleine Danny, der im Hotel Overlook so unter seinem besessenen Vater hat leiden müssen, ist erwachsen geworden. Aber die Vergangenheit lässt ihn nicht los, und wieder gerät er in einen Kampf zwischen Gut und Böse. Die zwölfjährige Abra hat das Shining. Kann er sie retten?

Nur mühevoll kann Dan Torrance die Schrecken verarbeiten, die er als kleines Kind im Hotel Overlook erlitten hat. Obendrein hat er die Suchtkrankheit seines besessenen Vaters geerbt und nimmt daher fleißig an Treffen der Anonymen Alkoholiker teil. Seine paranormalen Fähigkeiten - das Shining - setzt er nun in seinem Beruf ein: In einem Hospiz spendet er Sterbenden in ihren letzten Stunden Trost. Man nennt ihn liebevoll Doctor Sleep. Währenddessen ist in ganz Amerika eine Sekte auf der Suche nach ihrem Lebenselixier unterwegs. Ihre Mitglieder sehen so unscheinbar aus wie der landläufige Tourist - Ruheständler in Polyesterkleidung, die in ihr Wohnmobil vernarrt sind. Aber sie sind nahezu unsterblich, wenn sie sich vom letzten Lebenshauch jener Menschen ernähren, die das Shining besitzen. Das Mädchen Abra Stone besitzt es im Übermaß und gerät ins Visier der mörderischen Sekte. Um sie zu retten, weckt Dan die tief in ihm schlummernden Dämonen und ruft sie in einen alles entscheidenden Kampf.

Editorial reviews

Kein Frieden für Danny Torrance aus Stephen Kings "Shining"

Welches Leben erwartet den rollerfahrenden Jungen, der in "Shining" nur knapp dem Schrecken des Overlook-Hotels entkommt? Diese Frage hat Stephen King, den Meister des Horror-Genres, nicht losgelassen. In dem Hörbuch "Doctor Sleep" spinnt er die Geschichte von Danny Torrance weiter.

Danny, inzwischen vierzig, kämpft gegen die Alkoholsucht und die Dämonen seiner Vergangenheit. Seine übernatürliche Gabe setzt er im Altenheim ein. Als "Doctor Sleep" hilft er Sterbenden, sanft aus dem Leben zu scheiden.

Doch dann tritt der "Wahre Knoten" auf den Plan. Die Mitglieder dieser uralten, vampirähnlichen Sekte ernähren sich von Kindern mit dem Shining und töten sie grausam. Ihr nächstes Opfer soll die 12-jährige, hochbegabte Abra werden. Zuletzt steht nur noch eins zwischen Abra und dem sicheren Tod: der zu allem entschlossene Danny.

Sprecher David Nathan versteht es gerade durch seine abgeklärte Erzählweise, den Worten Kings noch mehr Gewicht zu geben. So kann sich der Hörer der bedrohlichen Atmosphäre keine Sekunde mehr entziehen.

Not in English, but hard to tell

Granted, I didn’t read the description, since I was excited about the book. Nevertheless, the fact that this is a German edition is not on the image/cover.

German Language Version

Really well narrated, and this is one of my favorite stories. Sorry to the other reviewers who didn’t know this was in German, but if that’s what you’re looking for, it’s great!

Who doesn't like Stephen King

This was a great sequel to the Shining. Will Patton did an excellent job in the narration.
Everyone has a bit of the Shining

It’s in German!!

Probably my fault but why would amazon recommend a Book in German to me? I’m a stupid American who just said, “Yeah, I want that!”
