A Sequel!?

Note: This is no official news, just speculation on my part, but I might be onto something. In the latest issue of Writer's Digest, Stephen King said that he's thought of doing a sequel to "one of my early books, mostly because I've never done it before." So I'm thinking that this means The Shining. When I think of his early books, Carrie, 'Salem's Lot, and The Shining are what come to mind, his first three novels. If you've read Carrie or 'Salem's Lot, then you know that there really isn't much potential for a sequel with either of them. With The Shining, however, there is...lots of possibilities there. It could be a Danny & Wendy of now book. The Overlook has probably been rebuilt (like at the end of the miniseries), so maybe they go back there? And encounter Jack's ghost. Just an idea. Another reason why I think King might've meant The Shining is because he did his own film adaptation of it twenty years after the book came out. Usually when he works on the films himself (writing, producing), it's within a few years of the book's release. Think Desperation, book came out in '97, film 2006. If he still wanted to do a film after twenty years with this, then that must mean he feels pretty strongly about it still. One of his favorites, probably. So if he was willing to do a movie twenty years later, then maybe a sequel thirty-some later isn't out of the question. Here's hoping.
