Excited about doctor sleep?

[TheInterloper]

Some people like me are crazy about cool limited edition books, but I have never spent over a 100$ for a book so I'm just planning on gettin I believe it's the letter or gift edition or something. I've set my reservation and everything. So which edition of doctor sleep are you getting I thank it should be good.

[GNTLGNT]

...I'll be getting The Stephen King Library edition...the only volumes I've shelled out the big bucks for are The Secretary of Dreams 1 & 2...

[Sundrop]

I'm excited abour Dr Sleep. I'm getting the gift edition.....

That cover is certainly a grabber!!:eek2: I just pre-ordered from B&N! Found this:



Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special twelve-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.

On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless—mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky twelve-year-old Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the “steam” that children with the “shining” produce when they are slowly tortured to death.

Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father’s legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant “shining” power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes “Doctor Sleep.”

Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan’s own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra’s soul and survival. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of devoted readers of The Shining and satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.

AWESOME!!

The cover is absolutely terrifying. Have the cost set aside in my special "treat" box and will be buying the hardcover on the day it comes out.

Not a fan of the cover. It's like the marketing department got confused and thought they were promoting a Sade concert tour. Her love was King after all. On a scale of one to ten, I give it a two. But let us not judge the book by it's cover. I still dislike it though.

LOL! Sade!

Not a fan either. I think the cover of the Cemetery Dance limited edition is MUCH better.

$2500 for a book? wow - that is an awful lotta dough

"Oversized Signed Hardcover Lettered Edition of only 52 illustrated copies printed in two colors and bound in two different fine materials with gilded page edges, imported endpapers, a satin ribbon page marker, and protected in a custom deluxe box, signed by Stephen King and all of the artists ($2,500)"

I should be so lucky to be able to buy something like that - I would be afraid someone would steal it and would have to put insurance on it!

[Shoesalesman]

The cover looks great. Very Desperation-like in the lettering.

[pennywise74]

Ditto Evil Queen any edition will do me can't wait, can't see it living up to the original but here's hoping.

The U.K. Cover is beautiful. Love it! :) The storyline interesting.

I think there are animals trained for illness detection (dogs trained for certain disease detection). Though, maybe, this cat has an "ability" known to other worlds.

Haven't you ever seen a cat just sit there and look off into nowhere? What is it REALLY looking at??

For something to repeat...that they've seen before. Cats love to sit in the bathroom after you finish, for a long long time...just
to see the faucet drip. Once it drips...off they go...satisfied that all is well and that all manner of things are well.

[not_nadine]

Yes, very much so. I don't know how he does it. Just keeping better and better.
I wonder.. Poor Tabby... he must talk in his sleep

[nate_watkins]

I wonder if Ralph and Lois should have gone to Dr. Sleep? Will they be in the book?

[not_nadine]

Good one. Wow, Nate

That's the question, isn't it?

Beyond that, I love the design. The teal eyes, the misty smoke, the Siamese feel to the cat, and, the color match of author and title lettering, of the book, with the colors of the cat.

I think it's beautiful.
