Stephen King Plans Follow-Up To "The Shining"

AuthorStephen King broke some news on his promotional tour for his latest book "Under the Dome": he's considering a sequel to The Shining! And you know if he writes it, the movie sequel will soon follow, right?

According to the author, the second novel would center on Danny Torrance, the young boy from the original story with the gift (or curse) of being able to communicate clairvoyantly with ghosts, and who is now an appropriately aged 40-year-old. All these years after being tormented by the spiritual inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel and his father’s alcoholism/homicidal rage, Danny is now working at a hospice using his supernatural powers for palliative purposes. King even offered a tentative title: Doctor Sleep.

Are you a Stephen King fan? Do you read the books and then see the movie versions? Or just skip the book and go straight to the movie? His books are a bit intimidating because they are so huge! His new book Under the Dome is over 1,000 pages.

I am definitely a Stephen King fan. But I wouldn't say that I love all his books cause he's written some real stinkers. The books are always better than the movies, at least that was the case with "The Shining" and "Carrie". I would definitely look into "The Shining" sequel.
