The fourth pair of Gryptics that I've made two weeks ago was my most successful one yet, as an impressive fourteen people have solved it since its original posting, all of whom are listed below:

The two words that combine to make a book title, highlighted above, spell out DOCTOR SLEEP (by Stephen King)

Patron M. Sean Molley said "I always enjoy these! Although Telekinetic Clairvoyance would make a very interesting title, I think I’ll go with DOCTOR SLEEP, seeing as how it is on my bookshelf. ;)
I’d say “telekinetic clairvoyance” is a good description for the shine, though, so I am guessing that wasn’t an accident. I guess you could say “The Shining” is a tragedy, and there’s probably a keyhole involved at some point in the Overlook Hotel ... so yeah, nice puzzle. :)"
Patron Pavel Curtis said "I don't read horror, so it was a bit of a struggle to find the final answer, but eventually I just decided to try going down the Wikipedia list of all of Stephen King's novels and, fortunately, that was the correct author! 😁"
Solver Kevin Orfield noted that "any number of word pairs would make excellent King titles. GRATUITOUS CLAIRVOYANCE, anyone?"
