Excerpt from: Stephen King, "The Shining" and the crapper | savannahnow.com

King said the sequel, "Dr. Sleep," picks up three years after the end of "The Shining." It follows Danny Torrance, the little boy with the gift (?) of clairvoyance, who's now living in Tampa, Fla., with his mom Wendy. Predictably, since King is King, young Danny (he's now 8) sees something hideous in his new home -- and I'm not talking obnoxious Florida Gator fans. Instead, it appears the fire that supposedly destroyed the Overlook and all it contained didn't do a thorough job.

Tentative release date is 2013. The "official" date has yet to be announced, which makes me think King is still writing.

This should be excellent. tried reading Kings "The Dome" last year, good premise but too much with the usual cops, etc, although I like the backstory that he used the theme to reflect politics.

Sounds good!

I like most of King's stories, but some are more special to me than others, ya know? The Shining is one of those. It was one of the first books by King I read (Eyes of the Dragon was the first), and it was awesome.

I just hope this sequel will be as good too.

I loved "Under the Dome"

I cannot wait for this sequel however. I basically love everything Steve writes!
