Doctor Sleep: a sequel?

[M2H]

A prequel would be interesting too. Maybe talk about the previous employee Grady, or someone else.

I think that making Danny a bit of a gambler is a BRILLIANT idea (if that rumor is true).

Don't forget, the addictive personality is hereditary. Danny would probably be too scared to ever become a drinker, due to the horrific childhood abuse he suffered at hands of his alcoholic father, but addictions can manifest themselves in many forms.

Like gambling.

the shining was the first SK i ever read and one i fell in love with from the very first line 'officious little pr@ck', a line i'll never forget. There are seven dark tower novels and only one shining. Please write the shining sequel, it'd be amazing. the poll shows what the people want , why deny them Uncle Steve?

No matter which direction Doctor Sleep takes, I know Stephen will do it justice. And I'm sure his Constant Readers will welcome it.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I read The Shining only recently, about a month ago. It was the first King novel I'd read, and after the first few chapters it sky-rocketed to being one of my all-time favourite books. I'm 19 and after reading Inside Room 217 I couldn't go to the bathroom alone! The Shining is brilliant. I knew it was going to be scary but I had no idea it would be that frightening! And although I had a fair few nightmares halfway into it, what really stole the show for me was the relationships in the book, the characters of Wendy, Jack and Danny, and how amazingly personal it was. I didn't foresee the fact that I'd be crying by the end, but I did cry, and plenty at that. I felt so desperately sorry for Jack, Danny and Wendy. I wondered, though, about the epilogue, and how Wendy didn't seem as perturbed by Jack's death as a spouse normally would be, so I'd be really interested in reading a sequel to find out how she's doing a few years down the line. Danny was so adorable and innocent in The Shining, though; I don't know if I'd be able to picture him all grown up. One way or another I'm grateful to have read a great book like The Shining by an amazing author, and I hope there is going to be a sequel.
