    I know Tommyknockers is one of those books that many people don't like however I think it's great...I liked it far more then UTD.

      Black House was truly AWESOME!!!

        When King first mentioned this book, he said that he was curious as to what ever happened to Danny. I really don't expect any ties to the Overlook, and wouldn't be surprised if the hotel and the events of The Shining weren't mentioned at all, or just mentioned in passing. I really expect it to have as much to do with the Shining as Father Callahan's story in the Dark Tower related to 'Salem's Lot, which was approximately diddley-squat. Of course that doesn't say anything about what the quality of the story might become. And frankly I don't need to read a rehash/retelling of The Shining so something new will be cool. Of course, I hope it's something new and not Danny Torrance and the vampires from the last couple Dark Tower books.

        Steve also mentioned, at the same time he first mentioned Dr. Sleep, that he wondered what it would be like if Danny had met up with Charlie McGee. And maybe that they had some kids. That'd be quite a family tale!

              Well, looks like Dr. Sleep will be released in 2013 (assuming the world doesn't end of course, lol):

                    Odd, I get that too going through that link even though it is to the press release that is on the Stephen King website. It's the first news story about King narrating Wind Through the Keyhole and has a sneak peek at Mr. Sleep which is due 2013, though doesn't say when in 2013

                      He publishes his trade stuff in November. That sems to be the biggest time of year lately. (At least most of the books I'm interested in seem tyo come out then.)

                          Yeah, it typically is November, but they are releasing the trade of TWTTK in April, so we will see. November make sense because they want to get more holiday sales. Same time-frame as when a lot of major video games are released and such

                            My guess would be November as well...

                            And I'd place the CD limited at around December/January. Or maybe they could get it out in September....
