As a side note, please remember that we are going to be opening up our shopping cart next Tuesday for our official "Doctor Sleep" Launch, Rare Book Sale. This was the perfect time to do this, to coincide with this major publication.

We do not hold these often, so be sure to stop by and find something great for yourself, or even as a unique gift for someone else.

This is going to be for serious collectors only, who are inspired to collect great King works. Starting this Tuesday at 2pm, you will have the opportunity to acquire some of the best signed and rare collectible King books on the market. You will also view some collections you have probably not seen before..

New "Doctor Sleep" teaser video, just released today.

Short but pretty cool. Ok, so how did they get those flies to stick to the guy's face? Or are those CG flies?

New Video - Stephen King returns to The Shining with Doctor Sleep

From BBC: "The best-selling author behind The Shining has returned to its central character, 36 years after the book was first published, for his latest novel.

Doctor Sleep begins a year after the events at the end of The Shining, and follows Danny Torrance to adulthood.

He spoke to the BBC's arts editor Will Gompertz about why Jack Torrance is his most autobiographical character and why he hated Stanley Kubrick's film version."

Some interesting tidbits here, including why King does not like the movie adaptation to The Shining.

Just in case you missed this...

This was originally published back in March, but here it is again, since so many people are getting excited about the new book event next week.

WARNING: According to the video intro, "this program contains adult language, and may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised."

Well, if you've read enough of his stories, you already know there is adult language - this is to be expected.
