At an awards ceremony at George Mason University last Friday, Stephen King regaled audiences with a chapter from Doctor Sleep, his upcoming novel about a grown-up Danny Torrance from The Shining.

In the book, Danny is a hospice worker who uses his powers to help ill patients to pass away without pain. Unfortunately, he runs afoul of a gang of wandering psychic vampires who feed on people's energy.

Enough with the Vampires already :rolleyes:

I'm a huge King fan, but psychic vampires? ugh

but they're PSYCHIC vampires !

I'm sick of Vampires, they're everywhere. They need to stay buried.

Well, as long as these vampires don't sparkle it could be good. :lol:

I thought vampires feed on people's blood :confused:
Stick a fork in Stephen King--he is done!

Well, as long as these vampires don't sparkle it could be good. :lol:

Haha, that's true!

It reminds me a little of his book Insomnia. With those feeding off the life force of others.
