I'll admit I have never read the Shining, but for fans of the book, here is some news. Credit DreadCentral.com.
Stephen King Reads from Shining Sequel Dr. Sleep
Doctor Gash's picture By Doctor Gash February 21st, 2012
We use the term "Master of Horror" often. Sometimes it applies, sometimes ... not so much. But there is no arguing that Stephen King is not only a Master of Horror, but perhaps THE Master of Horror. And we're lucky enough to have a video of him reading from his upcoming book, the sequel to The Shining, 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.

While I haven't read the book (yet) the movie did alter how I view movies. Kubrick took Kings story, threw in his own embellishments and the end result scared the be-jeezus outta me. In particular the scene where Jack is screaming in his sleep took the cake. So much madness, I dare say we have a little Jack in all of us. I look forward to reading this puppy! BTW, loverofbeers...the sake you recommended was delicious
