I’ve yet to read Doctor Sleep (on my TBR, finally got around to The Shining last month) but I’m currently reading Salems Lot.

He has an entire chapter ranting about the town and how it’s an evil entity that traps the souls of the inhabitants because they know every nook & cranny, every person and every thing about that person, all of the events, and so on. It’s so absurdly sinister and drones on for pages, I found it absolutely brilliant. It really captured my feelings as someone who was raised in a town of less than 10k and now lives in a large city.

How are you enjoying Doctor Sleep so far compared to The Shining?

I love Doctor Sleep! I’ve read it about 5 times and never fails to bring me joy and chills!!

There’s a couple of bits that don’t entirely line up between the two but I forgive that because they were written so far apart, but realistically it’s a great continuation and explores more of the shining talent that the main characters have and fills in some loopholes about the overlook!
