Stephen King has a Sequel to 'The Shining'


I always wondered what happened to Danny Torrance, the little boy with psychic powers in 'The Shining'. Well, Stephen King has a surprise for us... a Shining sequel!
While accepting the Mason Prize at George Mason University this weekend, novelist Stephen King gave fans a peek at a sequel to his classic novel, The Shining.

Above, we’ve embedded a short video clip from the event. Follow this link to read more about all the topics King discussed while receiving the award–past recipients included Chinua Achebe, Dave Eggers and Greg Mortenson.

Here’s more about the reading: “Doctor Sleep, his upcoming novel about a grown-up Danny Torrance from The Shining. In the book, Danny is a hospice worker who uses his powers to help ill patients to pass away without pain. Unfortunately, he runs afoul of a gang of wandering psychic vampires who feed on people’s energy.”
Yes, bitch! And here is a clip of him reading a piece of the new book.
