Stephen King Reads from Shining Sequel - Dr. Sleep


King was a guest of honor at the Savannah Book Festival Closing Ceremony this past Sunday, February 18th. He discussed his tremendous library of past works, the evolution of his new book 11/22/63 and, most exciting of all, he read an excerpt from Dr. Sleep, the upcoming sequel to his historic haunted hotel tale, The Shining.

Although most of the book follows a 40-year-old Danny Torrance, the section King reads in this video deals with the events immediately after the destruction of the Overlook Hotel.

he's one of those geeky guys that looks good for about 20 minutes when he gets to a certain age.
sistershotgun 22nd-Feb-2012 06:16 pm (UTC)
I'm with you, bb. I'd hit it.
ukesenshi 22nd-Feb-2012 08:06 am (UTC)
I see Hollywood's shitty sequel formula is contagious.

LEAVE THE SHINING ALONE, STEPHEN.
slaygalthessily 22nd-Feb-2012 08:58 am (UTC)
i agree with this so much...
brandon198403 22nd-Feb-2012 08:06 am (UTC)
I didn't even know he was writing a sequel tbh.
guadalcanal 22nd-Feb-2012 08:07 am (UTC)

college students ranging from freshman to seniors. i could see some middle school or high schoolers right now not knowing him, but not college students.
sandvich 22nd-Feb-2012 01:04 pm (UTC)
lbr, Stephen King is a slightly homely Stephen King.
freeze_i_say 22nd-Feb-2012 01:12 pm (UTC)
I bet they know all the Kardashians tho - that's such a sad thought tbh ^_^

i have 1 month left in my b.ed program and we have workshops all week and i kid you not, during the q&a after the principal's panel, someone asked "how do you get on the occasional teacher list?"

my friend and i looked at each other like "wait, what. did she really just ask that in front of 400 people?!" WE ARE 7 MONTHS INTO THE PROGRAM AND BITCH DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO APPLY TO SUPPLY OR ANY JOBS.

11/22/63 was a pretty good book.
aliminx 22nd-Feb-2012 06:26 pm (UTC)
That was an AWESOME book.
tink_1326 23rd-Feb-2012 01:22 am (UTC)
omg, I am just about done with it and I am IN LOVE. Jake's just about to go back to the future...
isntdaveone 22nd-Feb-2012 08:12 am (UTC)
a lot of his books for the past several years have been complete pieces of shit tbh.
queensabo 22nd-Feb-2012 08:17 am (UTC)
Under the Dome was pretty good until the bullshit ending, imo
isntdaveone 22nd-Feb-2012 08:20 am (UTC)
the endings of the books are never satisfying, and just ruin the experience.
miss_kate18 22nd-Feb-2012 10:28 am (UTC)
Yep, wish I had just stopped reading about 20 pages before the end.
likeomgitsalice 22nd-Feb-2012 12:02 pm (UTC)
Ugh I hated the ending so much. I loved the rest of the book but that ending was awful.
x_funkymonkey_x 22nd-Feb-2012 01:39 pm (UTC)
11/22/63 was srsly one of the best books I ever read tbh
sistershotgun 22nd-Feb-2012 06:17 pm (UTC)
I agree but his last group of short stories (Full Dark, No Stars) was great, felt like old King. I was surprised as shit.
lucce 22nd-Feb-2012 08:12 am (UTC)
Stephen has looked so thin since the accident which nearly killed him. I hope he's well and healthy, I really enjoy his work. Full Dark, No Stars was a good read.
slaughtermatic 22nd-Feb-2012 08:36 am (UTC)
I got that for my birthday, glad to hear it's good. :)

Can he not.
I still haven't had the chance to read 11/22/63 yet.
Stop putting out new books before I finish the old ones.
brenden 22nd-Feb-2012 08:17 am (UTC)
i am loving ONTD's book club btw!!! i didn't even know it existed until last week tbh

lol @ The Help
brenden 22nd-Feb-2012 08:23 am (UTC)
RELEVANT TO THE COMMUNITY, HATER. I'VE BEEN MEANING TO READ IT.
queensabo 22nd-Feb-2012 08:19 am (UTC)
favorite King book?
I'd say mine is probably Desperation or The Stand...I have love for the Langoliers short story too
brenden 22nd-Feb-2012 08:24 am (UTC)
never dug his novels, but nightmares and dreamscapes was da shit
mynamehere07 22nd-Feb-2012 08:28 am (UTC)
I loved the Langoliers until that horrible TV movie was made. The Stand is one of my favorites, but I'm not big on his novels, they tend to drag on. I think his short stories are far better, The Body (Stand by Me) is my favorite, however, it did give me an intense distaste for blueberry pie.
queensabo 22nd-Feb-2012 08:47 am (UTC)
lmao I loved the cheesy tv movie...that and the Stand I break out pretty regularly, they're so terrible and 90's it makes me nostalgic
brenden 22nd-Feb-2012 08:50 am (UTC)
i will never forgive my grandparents for subjecting me to that movie. i had nightmares of furry teeth balls chasing me for a while.
syzygy09 22nd-Feb-2012 08:29 am (UTC)
I have love for the Langoliers tv movie -- that was a million years ago, but those scrubbing bubbles with teeth scared the shit out of me.
brownxeyedxdork 22nd-Feb-2012 08:30 am (UTC)
Desperation or It
pickledprose 22nd-Feb-2012 08:31 am (UTC)
salem's lot and the long walk
monkeyprincess7 22nd-Feb-2012 08:32 am (UTC)
The Stand hands down. though IT is a close second, though it did nothing to alleviate my intense fear of clowns lol

Christine was good when I was younger, same with TommyKnockers. Movies were crap tho.
fffireburns 22nd-Feb-2012 08:33 am (UTC)
Wizard and Glass (not sry2say) and Misery

I still need to finish The Stand though, oops.
slaughtermatic 22nd-Feb-2012 08:39 am (UTC)
Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon tbh
sparrowsrflying 22nd-Feb-2012 08:40 am (UTC)
The dark half. Also the shining, bag of bones and the mist short story.

megedeborch 22nd-Feb-2012 08:59 am (UTC)
The Stand & IT - had the most impact on me when I read them as a teenager. Although most of his older work a pretty much flawless.

And 'The Long Walk', although it's published under Bachman, but man - I love this book. Made me cry.
fantasialopez 22nd-Feb-2012 09:18 am (UTC)
I love the short stories collections, can't pick a favorite though. Different Seasons is my favorite novella collection for sure. Favorite book might be It.
thefreshchuff 22nd-Feb-2012 09:21 am (UTC)
I remember really enjoying The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. I randomly have it in Pop-Up form.
miss_kate18 22nd-Feb-2012 10:32 am (UTC)
Desperation, Lisey's Story, Pet Sematary, The Long Walk.

As for short stories - N, The Langoliers, and The Ten O'Clock People.
rowan_belle 22nd-Feb-2012 12:57 pm (UTC)
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, The Green Mile and Salem's Lot
of_silver 22nd-Feb-2012 02:00 pm (UTC)
The Stand, Salem's Lot, Night Shift
jezemel 22nd-Feb-2012 04:00 pm (UTC)
The Shining. I was so sorry when I finished it because I didn't want it to end. Misery is really good, too. So is Thinner. Carrie.

I would have loved Pet Sematary, but I think it went on too long.

I hated The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and I'm really surprised to see it mentioned in this thread twice. One of the worse books I've ever read.
dives 22nd-Feb-2012 04:46 pm (UTC)
I thought 'salem's Lot was very good, but it depressed the hell out of me.
sophistiquated 22nd-Feb-2012 05:46 pm (UTC)
The Stand, but I've only read three of his books so far lol
naveedchick 22nd-Feb-2012 06:43 pm (UTC)
I've only read Carrie so far, but I loved it.
slaughtermatic 22nd-Feb-2012 08:34 am (UTC)
this will prob be so much like Black House but still wheeeeeeeee
