    Interview: Stephen King unearths origin of 'The Shining' sequel 'Doctor Sleep'
  • Lou_SytsmaLou_Sytsma
    Great move by King to hire Rocky Wood to proof read his Dr. Sleep story.



    Also awesome to have an interview of some significant length instead of the one or paragraph blurbies EW usually runs.



    Even more pumped for Dr. Sleep now. 8-)
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    This interview was condensed for the magazine a few issues back. It took up 3 pages and only used about 1/3 of it!

    Limited edition announced by Cemetery Dance
  • jhanicjhanic
    I ordered both the s/l and gift edition. I've heard that the lettered edition sold out in 75 minutes and more than 89% of the s/l are reserved.

    It's definitely grabbing everyone's attention to the point where Joyland seems to have been forgotten.
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    There won't be a limited edition of Joyland (at least not one in advance -- who knows what will happen down the road?), and there won't be more than a handful of review copies sent to key (read: very large, on NY Times scale) markets (I won't be getting one).
  • jhanicjhanic
    I'll be looking for one of those advance copies of Joyland. I did manage to get one of The Colorado Kid, so I haven't given up hope.

    Darn and surprising!
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    I talked to Charles Ardai about it (I interviewed him for CD #70) -- he's very adamant that they contain the story as much as possible leading up to the release.
  • Lou_SytsmaLou_Sytsma
    Look very forward to the interview and an interesting position by Mr. Ardai to want to 'contain' the story.

    Mystery post? ;)



    Assume it's supposed to be the U.S. book cover.
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    It is indeed.
  • Lou_SytsmaLou_Sytsma
    Thought so because I literally see nothing in your second last post even though I tried a couple of different browsers. I normally use Google Chrome.
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    I use chrome, too -- this is the image url http://www.stephenking.com/promo/doctor_sleep/cover_reveal.jpg
  • Lou_SytsmaLou_Sytsma
    The mystery deepens.  That link gives me a 403 error - access forbidden.



    Not to worry, I have seen the cover elsewhere.  Just pointing out that I cannot see it in this thread.



    Opinion seems to be divided on the cover.  I'm undecided.  If the 'smoke' font relates to something in the story that would sway me over.
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    The smoke font definitely relates to something in the story.
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    They must have shifted things around and Chrome was caching it on my browser. I updated with a more recent link.

    I am swayed.

    [Margaret Atwood] explains she’s been up much of the night reading and thinking about Stephen King’s latest novel, Doctor Sleep, which the New York Times has asked her to review. Hard to imagine Atwood snuggling up with a Stephen King book, but this is a woman who last year co-authored a novel about zombies, The Happy Zombie Sunrise Home, with a young British writer, Naomi Alderman.
