All good news

News of a possible sequel to The Shining is big, but I think The Guardian has buried the lead. Almost as an afterthought, writer Alison Flood mentions that King has an idea for a new book in his Dark Tower series.

“The working title for the eighth book in the series, King announced on his website, would be The Wind Through the Keyhole, but he added that he hadn’t yet begun writing it and it would be “a minimum of eight months” before he did.”

King fans know that as great as a sequel to The Shining might be, the Dark Tower series represents Stephen King’s finest work.
