Though I have not read The Shining #1, and have only seen the movie adaptation a zillion times (big fan), I could not have resisted its sequel Doctor Sleep - the title alone intrigued me since I'm a bit of an insomniac. The novel picks up the story of Dan Torrance as an adult who isn't coping well w...
The Shining has a sequel? Bring it on!As you can see by the comment above, I was very excited to hear that The Shining had a sequel.

We follow his journey toward sobriety as well as one where the demons are much more real.My ThoughtsI wanted to love this book. M...
Stephen King was probably the second adult author I read as a young teenager. My first book was It, which is now my favorite book of all-time. I then worked my way through Salem's Lot, The Stand, Pet Semetary, and of course The Shining. Through the years I have continued my love of all things Stephe...
