Stephen King says that he's working on a sequel to "The Shining". The Lamest Title for A Sequel Is Right Here! (and the plot sounds a bit weak too) His recent short fiction has been much better than his novels during the last decade. I don't expect this will prove to be the exception.

The Gleaming? Or perhaps the Shining II: Shine On?

The Gleaming? Or perhaps the Shining II: Shine On? The Gleaming still isn't as bad as "Dr. Sleep".

How about "The Sparkling"? Now that's a title you don't want to hear.

I hated every single one of the characters in the book. Why did a sequel need to be written? I have to wonder sometimes just how someone who writes prose as ponderous and sluggish as King does get known for being a suspense writer. I'm half asleep by the time anything happens out of sheer boredom. Ah well, he's a rich author and I'm a cook. He's doing something I'm not.

Given that King mentions that the antagonists are "kind of like vampires", he probably already considered damning the book with "The Sparkling". And then his beleaguered wife, Tabitha, turned around and suddenly brained him with a cast iron frying pan. In a daze, he thought he saw his Constant Readers trying to grab at him through an open window and realized that to save his soul, he had better come up with another title really damn fast.
Too bad the next title that popped into his head is what we should be calling Michael Jackson's doctor instead.
(Yeah, I'm sedated.)

I was only kidding about that and there's actually vampires in that sequel? Wow... Steven King is off his knockers again. That's all I have to say for now.

Wait what? Did that came off a little off colour? Forget I mention it. What I meant was the sort of locking him up in a asylum, a cushion room with a table and a typewriter kind of thing.

All work and no play, makes Steven a dull boy. All work and no play, makes Steven a dull boy. All work and no play, makes Steven a dull boy. All work and no play, makes Steven a dull boy.

I'm just impressed that Stephen King was able to restrain himself and not have the novel take place in Maine.

The expression would be "Stephen King is off his rocker". Knockers is a colloquialism for breasts. But yes, the guy has totally lost it. Alan Wake surpassed him years ago.
