I don't see why King writing about vampires (psychic or otherwise) would be "off" for him- one of his most popular novels is a vampire story.
And, since it's about one of the main characters from The Shining- how is it NOT a sequel?
And, as this story is about a book, I'm moving it from the upcoming film section to the book section.

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.
