Stephen King working on new book, "Joyland"

Murderous clowns who can jump between dimensions is one of my deepest fears. Now Stephen King will add another fear to the list: “amusement park serial killers.”

According to a Sunday Times profile by Neil Gaiman, King is working on a novel called Joyland, which sounds sounds like it’ll be a return to the pure horror genre.

Always a bit morbid, King has also thought about what would happen to Joyland in the event of his death:

“If I got hit by a taxi cab, like Margaret Mitchell… Joyland wouldn’t be done but Joe could finish it, in a breeze. His style is almost indistinguishable from mine. His ideas are better than mine. Being around Joe is like being next to a Catherine Wheel throwing off sparks, all these ideas.”

This one sounds terrifying, but I'd still read it. Also, I really need to finish 11/22/63.

You won't be seeing any Dany povs until ADWD. He split the story into two separate books with all the characters in the south/iron islants in A Feast For Crows, and all the characters in the north/wall/across the narrow sea in A Dance With Dragons, the books take place at the same time and not one after the other!

There aren't that many Sansa & Arya povs in AFFC but they are pretty long and informative, I say enjoy the story, a lot of people don't like AFFC but I really like it, all the Cersei/Jaime povs are quite entertaining and the story is good. The Greyjoys are kind of no1curr but the Dornishmen are completely fascinating once you get into them! Just really power through the boring povs (the way you would power through the annoying epilogues) cause everything really kind of brings something to the story.

Damn I'm bummed that I'm not going to get my favourite characters, but it makes me look forward to ADWD that much more (and makes me very glad that I didn't have to wait for it to finally be finished!)

Thanks for the website, although I'll probably just power through especially now that I know the POVs I'm looking for aren't going to show up.

You're welcome! I know how you feel, although for me it's backwards. I usually can't stand dany or jon so I pretty much loved AFFC! Now that I'm reading ADWD I'm trying to power through a lot of things I don't really care about, although I must admit the story gets a lot more intresting so I find they don't annoy me like they did during asos!

As for the website, it's like a wikipedia for asoiaf! So you can always use it to search for other things, it's been really useful for me when I forget about a character or I read so fast I can't even remember what happened before!

It will probably be great for the times I can't rember if Sam is a Tarly or Tyrell - hell today I thought he was a Tywin until I remembered Tywin isn't a last name.

Lmaooo! For the longest time ever I had Barristan Selmy and Berric Dondarrion mixed up, damn names!
