Having read about psychic vampires a lot in my youth this is very exciting if they really do explore this phenomenon.

"They" being Stephen King. He's writing a book. It's a sequel to a book he called "The Shining."

Yes he did write a book about vampires but it was more of the classic kind of vampires, not psychic ones. That just doesnt seem like him. I'm still excited about it and am interested to read it. Also just because a character from one of his other books is in it, doesnt make it a sequel. If the story connects with The Shining then sure but if the only connection is one character i just don't see how that can be called a sequel.

I'll have to trust Mr. King's judgement. I guess he would know if he's writing a sequel or not.

I'm not saying it is or it isnt, just how it seemed to me that's all.

I actually wasn't that impressed with THE SHINING (compared to his other work) but I'll defiantly see what he has to offer before passing judgement--if nothing else to see how this story ties into his cosmos overall. I think (much to my surprise) NEEDFUL THINGS was the best thing I have ever seen by him. Certainly not the scariest but most defiantly one of the best. The intricacy of the character motivations and how they played off one another was sheer genius.

Personally I hope this is more about Physic Vampirism than Vampires with Psychic Abilities, you can tell some really dark and compelling stories about someone/something that feeds off the minds, spirits, hopes, or dreams, and fear of others. Its also an easy way to turn someone sympathetic into a monster without alienating the audience to the character.

Stephen King reading the first chapter of his upcoming, long-awaited sequel to The Shining -- Dr. Sleep.

s.k has linked storys in a few of his books like daloris claiborne and geralds game,dark half and needfull things.i havnt read the dark tower series but apparently he mentions things from just about all his books.

dead zone, cujo, the body from different seasons, uncle otto's truck from skeleton crew, the dark half, the sun dog from four past midnight, needful things, and it grows on you from nightmares and dreamscapes are all set in castle rock. there are several of his stories set in or mention the fictional town of derry, maine too, which is really just bangor, maine. really every king book is linked to another one in some way.

The Shining sequel hits the shelves Sept. 24th!
