Stephen King's Sequel to The Shining Promises To Be "A Goddamn Scary Book"

We've got a little nugget of info to pass on regarding Stephen King's upcoming horror novel Dr. Sleep which is actually the sequel to 1977 novel the Shining. King announced yesterday that the second draft off the book, is done, and according to King "It's a goddamn scary book."

This is great news and should really lence some of the critics who have questioned why the literary master of horror

drifted from the genre by releang his latest novel 11/22/63, which deals with a time traveler who attempts to prevent the John F. Kennedy assasnation which occurred on that date.



Dr. Sleep's plot involves a grown-up Danny Torrance who's now working in a hospice, where he "uses his powers to help ill patients to pass away without pain. Unfortunately, he runs afoul of a gang of wandering psychic vampires (known as the Tribe) who feed on people's energy."

Stay tuned for more details.

That's awesome. Love Stephen King. lol he was interviewed by Chris Matthews on MSNBC the other day... The fucking guy kept interrupting King and wouldn't let him finish a thought! When are these interviewers going to understand that what they have to say is not important? No one gives a shit what the interviewer has to say! It's all about the guest!

Stephen King > Chris Matthews.
