Newly Notable: Dr. Sleep

He's baaaaaaack--and by "he," I mean little Danny Torrance, all growed up!  And, well, technically, Stephen King, too.
Just after 9:00 this morning, a post went up on Stephen King's website announcing the tentative release date of King's new novel Dr. Sleep.  The bad news is that you're going to have to make some other reading plans for awhile: the release is scheduled for January 15, 2013 (ouch, huh?).
So let's cut to the chase: Dan Torrance, now a middle-aged adult coping with his own demons (for official details on said demons, see The Shining) meets Abra Stone, a teen with the most brillian shining Dan has ever seen.  Enter also a tribe calle The True Knot: "They look harmless--mostly old, lots of polyester and married to their RVs." Unfortunately, they're also quasi-immortal, and live off the essence produced when children with the shining are tortured.  Snazzy, huh?
Sit tight, folks--I'll bring more information as it becomes available.
