Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant âÈêshiningâÈë power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his fatherâÈçs legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence.
