Rocky Wood
My favorite Stephen King website posted some sad news today:
Today is a very sad day because a friend and King expert; Rocky Wood has passed away. I think many of us knew he was terminally ill. I have for years but I had no idea that it would happen so soon.
I never met Rocky in person but we spoke through email and he often sent me news bits for the site, the last one less than a month ago. I will miss him a lot!
Walk in peace my friend, there are other worlds than these...

Stephen King said about Wood:
Rocky Wood was my go-to guy for all things Shining, providing me with names and dates I had either forgotten or plain got wrong. He also provided reams of info on every recreational vehicle and camper under the sun (the coolest was Rose’s EarthCruiser). The Rock knows my work better than I do myself. Look him up on the web sometime. He’s got it going on.

Movoto Prices The Overlook!
The crew over at Movoto, (the fun real estate blog) have been having some fun indeed -- with Stephen King's THE SHINING. The blog focuses on fictional real estate listings. So, with the release of Doctor Sleep, they decided it would be super heaps of fun to check out the value of the Overlook Hotel!
In the process of researching the Overlook's value, a lot of interesting facts surface. How many sq feet is it? How many bathrooms?
This is re-posted by permission from www.movoto.com
......................................................
What’s the scariest thing you can think of? I’m betting it’s probably a ghost, a monster, or some kind of psycho killer with a chainsaw. Unless, that is, you’ve ever read Stephen King’s horror masterpiece, “The Shining”. In that case, like me, you were thinking of the Overlook Hotel.
While there have been many a terrifying piece of property in the history of horror books, film, and TV—the “Amityville Horror”, “Insidious”, and “Psycho” houses spring to mind—none can compare to the hotel that King created in his landmark 1977 novel. It might look like a building, but those who’ve read the book know it’s a living, breathing epicenter of paranormal dread.
What got me thinking about the Overlook again is something every true horror fan should be eagerly awaiting: this week’s release of “Doctor Sleep,” King’s latest work and the long-awaited sequel to “The Shining”. While the Overlook obviously doesn’t feature in the new novel, we here at the Movoto Real Estate Blog figured there was no more appropriate time to perform one of our patented fictional property evaluations on the sinister inn.
You know, just in case some steel-nerved ghost hunters out there want to fantasize about buying it—or at least the real world equivalent.
I don’t scare easily, but as returning readers will know, these evaluations can sometimes be so complex they’re scary in their own right. Fortunately, I came away from this one unscathed, and with a price of $1,292,000.
How did I scare up that figure? Read on—if you dare!—to find out.
How I Did It (Without Using the Shining Power)
Whether you’re valuing an evil hotel or one from a beloved British comedy, you’re going to need to know some of the same information. Specifically, I had to track down:
- How big the Overlook is
- Where it’s located
- How much it’s worth per room
One Spooky Hotel, Many Inspirations
Although I’ve read “The Shining” and seen the movie (many times) and watched the TV miniseries, I still needed to do a good amount of research to bone up on my Overlook lore. My first stop was, naturally, one of the scariest places I can think of: the Internet. It was here that I reinforced some things I already knew, such as the fact that the Overlook Hotel isn’t a real place, but that it was based on an actual hotel that King once stayed at (in room 217) called the Stanley Hotel.In fact, the Stanley is obviously extremely proud to be known as the inspiration for the Overlook, not to mention the “fact” that it is haunted (something that may or may not have driven King to have a nightmare that led to the idea for the novel). The hotel conducts regular ghost hunting tours and an annual “Shining” theme ball on Halloween.
Based on this alone, it would seem like a pretty cut-and-dry process to find out how big the Stanley is—16,000 square feet, by the way—get values for some nearby hotels for sale, and call it a day. I should know by now that it’s never that easy.
That’s because, you see, there’s another real hotel that’s associated with the Overlook—the Timberline Lodge. This ski resort is what most people probably most associate with the hotel because of the fact that it was used in 1980 movie adaptation of “The Shining” by director Stanley Kubrick (no relation to the Stanley Hotel, as bizarre as that would have been). The Timberline Lodge served as the exterior of the Overlook in some scenes and inspired the matte paintings used in others. It’s not a 100 percent match for several reasons, not the least of which is that the interiors are not at all alike and it doesn’t have the infamous hedge maze from the film.
I was torn for a while as to whether or not I should use this 60,000 square foot, 70 room resort to base my evaluation on, but I eventually came back to the Stanley—for the most part—for a reason I’ll get to in a second.
As it turns out, neither of these hotels could actually be a 100 percent match for the Overlook because they both have too many rooms. The Stanley has 140 and, like I just mentioned, the Timberline has 70. Going back and reading “The Shining”, I discovered that King’s hotel has exactly 40 guest rooms. Its makeup is as follows:
- 30 Double Rooms (including room 237)
- 10 Single Rooms
- Offices (including Mr. Ullman’s)
- Lobby
- Storage Room
- Gold Room
- Colorado Lounge
- Banquet/Ballroom
- Basement
One of Colorado’s Premier Resort Destinations
If you couldn’t guess from the name of one of those rooms listed above, the Overlook Hotel is meant to be in Colorado—just like the Stanley Hotel that inspired it (although, in his introduction to the book, King claims it’s not based on any actual hotel). But where in the state?Well, going by King’s inspiration, the Stanley, I placed the Overlook in Estes Park, Colorado, where it’s located. The Timberline Lodge’s location wasn’t really an option, since it’s not in Colorado; it’s in Government Camp, Oregon, at the base of Mount Hood.
Again, as with the square footage, the location of that Overlook actually didn’t matter (much) to the overall evaluation. It did affect part of the formula I used, which I’ll get to next.
That’s a Scary (Expensive) Soda
Now, if you’ve read one of our fictional evaluations of a hotel property before—like Fawlty Towers, for example—you’ll know that they’re valued differently than residential properties.There are actually a couple of shortcuts to figuring out their prices; one being to take the price of a can of Coke in their mini-fridges, multiplying it by 10,000, then multiplying that by the number of rooms. The other is to find a similar hotel for sale in the area and divide its listing price by the number of rooms, then apply that to the number of rooms in the hotel being evaluated. I decided to go with the former, mostly because it meant I got to call the Stanley Hotel.
So, I rang up the Stanley and posed my question to their chipper staff. The result: a can of Coke there costs $3 plus tax (at least my wallet was afraid). Knowing that the Stanley is in Estes Park, CO, I was able to look up the sales tax there, which is 7.5 percent. So, a can of Coke at the hotel costs $3.22 all told.
With that number, I could do some simple multiplication and determine that one room of the Overlook would be valued at $32,200. Now I just had to do what Jack Torrance never could and finish what I’m writing.
You Can Check-In But You’ll Never Leave
To wrap things up, I just needed to multiply the value per room ($32,200) by the number of rooms (40) to end up with a final price of $1,292,000—a price that’s actually scary in how cheap it is. Of course, you’d still have to contend with hallways filled with blood, scary twins, murderous partygoers, and all the other nasty things the Overlook holds within its haunted halls. But, for the right buyer, I guess those might actually be plusses. Heck, I hear there’s actually a premium on little kids yelling “Redrum” these days. Go figure.

DOCTOR SLEEP vs. NOS4A2
I am very glad that Stephen King won the Bram Stoker award this year for Best Novel with DOCTOR SLEEP. I think it is a superior achievement to NOS4A2 -- so long as you consider being darker, more serious, and having a real-life subtext (alcoholism) "superior" to the lighter, more fantasy-oriented (and without much subtext) approach Joe Hill took with his splendid third novel. Ironically: Joe Hill's book is over one hundred pages longer than DOCTOR SLEEP!
Stephen King's surprise sequel to THE SHINING takes some time getting kick-started. It required a serious effort on my behalf, one which I was willing to give due to the fact it's Stephen King, one of my favorite authors, not to mention it's the sequel to one of his best novels. The trouble I had getting into it is partly due to my hectic new Daddy life, and not necessarily a shortcoming on King's behalf.
After a hundred pages or so, things heat up, and once the entire cast of characters (including Dan Torrance and his cohorts at the hospice where he works, Abra Stone and her family, and our villains in The True Knot) becomes firmly embedded in the reader's head, the plot unfolds at a nice, consistent pace. A lot of us are aware that King seems to have a spotty reputation for wrapping some of his novels up. I've heard as much from more than one fan, and while I myself have only had problems with the endings of two of his books I can think of (IT and CELL), I guess can understand the apprehension. DOCTOR SLEEP is a book that I honestly feel would be unfairly dismissed by careless readers who don't really give it a try nor respect the material enough to hang in there until the final payoff.
*mild Spoilers to follow, without really giving away major plot points*
With me, I admit to a double-ending which, on the one hand--the *surface narrative* concerning Dan and Abra's confrontation with Rose the Hat and The True Knot at their Lodge---that left a tad to be desired, but I'm okay with it, really. It's my main criticism of the book, whose resolution of the *principle action* fell a bit short of expectations. However, the *subtext* has its own matters to tie up, and that played out in a truly heartfelt manner, resulting in a resolution which should satisfy the dear and devoted reader tremendously.
Also, the development of the True Knot, while not as in-depth as that of Dan Torrance and Abra Stone, nonetheless rendered some awesomely memorable villains. I really dig the whole idea behind them. And Rose the Hat was a badass. She and her clan remain one of the novels strengths, for sure.
In short: if it wasn't for the subtext of real life alcoholism, DOCTOR SLEEP wouldn't be quite as good, I think. It's that undercurrent of characterization which gives it the edge over NOS4A2, in my opinion. Joe Hill's novel doesn't seem to have as much of a subtext, which in truth is what lends it more power, based on the fact that it's just a straight-up kick ass story. DOCTOR SLEEP digs deeper. As a sequel to THE SHINING it's an outright success because of the fact it does not fixate so much with returning to the scene nor replicating the original formula; something King could've easily fallen prey to, and thankfully for us, didn't.
DOCTOR SLEEP tells its own story, and what makes it succeed is the very characterization which King built his early reputation on. He seemed to have lost his touch in that regard with some of the mid- to late-career novels (Cell comes to mind, although I enjoyed it well enough), but here with this sequel to his most classic novel, he is back in full swing with character development along with a solid story line.
Plus, the reader can't help but connect the dots from Abra Stone and her powerful "shining" gift, back to Charlie McGee from FIRESTARTER (in my Top 10 King novels for sure) not to mention CARRIE herself. I highly recommend DOCTOR SLEEP to any King fan or new reader. I don't think it's even necessary to read THE SHINING beforehand, but it sure helps a lot. It deserves at least 4 stars, but I'm giving it 4.5 out of 5 because it really satisfied me, and besides, NOS4A2 deserves a 4 out of 5 rating, itself.
I'm willing to bet some day in the future, Joe Hill's writing talent will continue to develop to the point he can show up his old man. But here in 2014, that has yet to occur. Joe's still got a ways to go to catch up, from where I sit. And considering the elder King's output--not to mention the critically acclaimed novel 11/22/63-- along with two more highly anticipated novels for 2014 (MR. MERCEDES and REVIVAL), young Joe will have to put the pedal to the metal in order to catch up to his old man. We'll just have to wait and see.
From STEPHEN KING BOOKS:
Earlier this year DOCTORSLEEP won the This Is Horror Novel of the Year award, and here's Stephen King's certificate!
LINK: Paging Doctor Sleep
The reviewers declares that King's classic horror novel, The Shining, is far more frightening than Kubrick's movie, which they found terrifying in itself. In fact, the word used to describe reading the novel is "trauma." Of course, when a book makes that big an impression, the expectations for the sequel are gargantuan. The review focuses on King's decision to take dramatically different approaches in terms of writing to the original novel.
While the tale The Shining is one unsurpassable in the minds of horror enthusiasts, it’s refreshing to see that King didn’t try to make a sequel similar to the plot of the legendary book. Instead, it’s a totally new take on Dan Torrance and I think it was the right call
Cusack As A Grown Danny Torrance?
John Cusack recently hosted a "ask me anything" session at reddit. Asked what movie role he would accept in a heartbeat, Cusack responded, "Doctor Sleep."

Doctor Sleep Journal #6: YES!
An unusual thing happened tonight. I was out running, listening to Doctor Sleep. I'm loving it. That is, I'm loving the novel, not the running. The novel helps me focus on something other than how bad it hurts. But, really was swept away tonight with what was happening in the book. When the naughty vamp tries to get in Abra's head, she has set a brilliant trap. It's hard not to spill it all, because it's so good. In fact, what happens is so good it made me say, "YES!" out loud as I ran through the desert darkness.
I love those "YES!" moments. Times when King brilliantly weaves a story, and you don't even see it coming. At his best, King builds the stories tension, then releases a bit of tension by giving a small victory you didn't even realize was nearby.
Much of this book takes place in the world of the unseen. It's a heady book. A lot is expected of the reader when traveling these pages. We must accept some things -- like ghosts and the ability to jump from one persons head to another. Can you set traps in your mind? Sure! What's really nice is King's own confidence in story telling. He doesn't feel the need to explain for pages and pages why this could really happen. He just lays the story out and expects the reader to go with it. Look -- he seems to say -- some people shine. Those people who shine, they can do some pretty crazy stuff. Now either accept that premise, or go read Twilight! But what King doesn't do is bore the reader with pages and pages of how this stuff happens.
The Bad Guys Better Get It!
In Doctor Sleep, King has given us some pretty bad characters. I think the True Knot are some of the worst monsters in the Stephen King universe. They torture kids! I hope with all my heart Mr. King has a real painful end for this lot. One of the great things about Ken Follett's writing is that the bad guys must suffer such terrible ends. I hope King can do that with Doctor Sleep.
Why does this worry me? Because sometimes King gets a little realistic on us when it comes to the bad guys demise. Sometimes bad people get away with bad things, both in life and the Stephen King universe. There was no great moment in Under The Dome where Big Jim really got what he had coming to him.
People have pointed out that in the movie It's A Wonderful Life, old man Potter never gets slammed with the justice he deserves. He gets away with it! Things turn out good for Jimmy Stewart and family, but Potter doesn't get taken down. And sometimes that's what happens in King novels. For instance, when it comes to giving the bad guys their comeuppances, Mr. King is inconsistent. Needful Things was also disappointing, though the novel itself was great.
In your opinion. . .
Which Stephen King bad guy got what he deserved?
And which SK bad guy really didn't suffer enough?
PEOPLE magazine praises Doctor Sleep
People Magazine, October 7, 2013
I picked up a copy of People Magazine today to read a story about Rick Warren's ministry since the loss of his son. It's a touching interview. As I thumbed through the magazine, I spotted a familiar face and book -- King and Doctor Sleep. The magazine devoted an entire page to highlight the sequel to The Shining.
Under "People Pick," Josh Emmons gives the book four and a half out of five stars. He says, "Doctor Sleep isn't as unsettling as its predecessor -- it's too rambling and jokey to jolt you. But it's richly imagined and gripping enough to make you glad King carried on the legacy."
Doctor Sleep Journal 1: Time Warp
A note on Journals: The journal entries are not reviews. They are simply my notes as I read the book. If you want a review of Doctor Sleep, I recommend the New York Times and Lilja's Library. Since I'm talking as I read, I'm sure there are "spoilers" -- an absolutely ridiculous idea in my opinion. If you don't want to know about a book, don't read about it! But you've been warned and I now feel free to write.One of the great things about a Stephen King novel is his ability to effectively time warp the reader to time gone by. In 11/22/63 he took us right back to the 1960's. I wasn't even alive in the 60's and I felt like I was going back to a place I knew. Joyland was a trip back to the 1970's.
Often a King book is time warp because I'm reading stuff he wrote years ago. His books have a flavor of the era they were written in. The Stand feels like the 1970's. Even when King updated it, the 70's were still lingering nearby. King has said he is more an author of the present. What he does so effectively in opening chapters of Doctor Sleep is time warp us back to the late 70's and then the early 80's.
I love the passing references to the peanut farmer and the actor -- even if I do disagree with his assessment of the actor. Little references to Three's Company bring back a flood of memories that make me smile. That was such a dumb show! You remember Three's Company, right? It's the one about the big misunderstanding. . . every single episode!
The trip into a movie theater is great, as King puts Raiders of The Lost Ark right onto the screen. It's cool to have a story take place in front of a backdrop that's so personally engaging. King uses things most of us remember to transport us into his scenes.
The story moves almost seamlessly from The Shining to this new novel. Danny is still Danny, Wendy still herself (what little I've seen of her thus far) and Dick is just as charming as ever. I love scenes were Danny and Dick can sit and have a private conversation just in their heads.
After some spooky-doo scenes that are well worth the price of admission, King does something he didn't do much of at all in the original novel; He turns to other characters. In The Shining, almost every scene involved one of the three family members. It was a tight, introspective novel that was great, if not a little slow at points. But with deep character development already completed, King is now able to keep the action flowing and introduce new characters. The story no widens as we learn about new people with special gifts.
The scenes thus far are short, crisp and well written. King's narrative voice is a little more sassy than it was in The Shining; a sign of growing confidence I suspect. Can we trust that actor, Mr. King? Of course we can!
Watch out for rattlesnakes, y'all.
Cemetery Dance Offers First Look At Special Doctor Sleep
Here is a quick sneak peek at the SLIPCASE for the Cemetery Dance Publications Gift Edition of Doctor Sleep by Stephen King.
Step Aside Kubrick -- Doctor Sleep Offers The True Torrance Family History
Is Doctor Sleep going to rock the house -- or might it somehow drain our love and admiration for the classic Stephen King work, The Shining? I'm not sure sequels can' ruin predecessors, but it can color things for new generations who read the sequel first. Mr. King should be very pleased, as early reviews for Doctor Sleep seem to be quite positive.
Bob Minzesheimer at USA Today headlines his review, "After 36 years, King gives 'Shining' a new luster in sequel."
With Doctor Sleep, Stephen King tells us he chose not to accept the Kubrick movie background but instead stay faithful to his own version of the Torrance family history. Minzesheimer says King called Doctor Sleep "sharper" in its characterization and a little more positive.
Quoting Bev Vincent, The USA Today article notes:
Bev Vincent, author of The Stephen King Illustrated Companion, says it's risky for King to write a sequel to The Shining, "which is one of the books that will be read for generations. Can he recapture the magic?"
Vincent's verdict: "King created a different kind of magic" in Doctor Sleep. It's "Danny's history from the perspective of a much more experienced and skilled writer."
Early reviews are good. The New York Times praises it as "a very quick and nimble story." Publishers Weekly calls it "a gripping, taut read."
WAIT A MINUTE -- Me Thinks King Is Toying With us!
In wrapping things up, Minzesheimer has a few words about Under The Done, noting King will write the first episode of season 2. Then he tells us that King will not say if it will "diverge from the novel." I think King was testing to see if Mr. Minzesheimer had even read the book, as Under The Dome is already so far from the novel it would require Big Jim to wake and realize everything since episode 3 was just a big dream.
Doctor Sleep Now Listed At AMAZON
Amazon is now listing Doctor Sleep for preorders.
Amazon is also posting editorial reviews. Here's one listed by Daniel Kraus at Bookist:
King, not one given to sequels, throws fans a big, bloody bone with this long-drooled-for follow-up to The Shining (1977). The events of the Overlook Hotel had resounding effects upon Danny Torrance, and decades later he’s a drunk like his father, wondering what his battle with the “ghosties” was even for. Dan still feels the pull of the shining, though, and it lands him in a small New England town where he finds friends, an AA group, and a job at a hospice, where his ability to ease patients into death earns him the moniker Doctor Sleep. Ten years sober, he telepathically meets the “great white whale” of shining—12-year-old Abra—who has drawn the attention of the True Knot, an evil RV caravan of shining-eating quasi-vampires, one part Cooger & Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show and one part Manson’s dune-buggy attack battalion. Though the book is very poignantly bookended, the battle between Dan/Abra and the True’s “Queen Bitch of Castle Hell” is relegated to a psychic slugfest—not really the stuff of high tension. Regardless, seeing phrases like “REDRUM” and “officious prick” in print again is pretty much worth the asking price. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Even for a King book, this is high profile. The Shining is often considered King’s best novel, so even lapsed fans should come out of the woodwork for this one.""Stephen King returns to the character and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance and the very special twelve-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals."
The novel is 544 pages.

Doctor Sleep Excerpt In EW
Stephen King's FB page posted this bit of news:

Doctor Sleep hits bookshelves on September 24th.
Joyland Reviews Keep Coming
I loved Joyland! And, it seems the positive reviews continue to pour out. Of course, most of the major book reviewers have had their say on the book; but just as important are the reflections of more ordinary folk.
COOK:
Alison Reeger Cook wrote a review for gainesvilletimes.com in which she admitted that this was her first Stephen King book. Her reaction? Impressed that King was able to take well worn themes and work them anew. She also noted that King was able to keep from creating paper cutouts of characters, but created real depth.
This is not a fast-paced novel. It takes its time getting to the central mystery about the haunted house and the legacy of the infamous murder. Yet, the story is steadfastly engaging and, at times, touching. King gives as much care and thought to this novel as any of his more highly publicized literature. And his writing seamlessly combines tinges of natural humor, subtle drama and just the right amount of tension for suspense.He final take? She'll be reading more Stephen King!
ARUL:
Also published this past Sunday, Davin Arul writes a review of Joyland for thestar.com, calling the novel, "a murder-mystery that’s sweet, fluffy and a tad lightweight," and then promises, "but you’ll savour every little strand."
Arul, like Cook, has not been keeping up with the most recent Stephen King offerings. He starts by saying "IT has been a long time since a Stephen King book grabbed my attention from the start and held it right through to the end." Is IT capitalized simply because it is the beginning of the article, or is it a clue that IT was the last novel by King that was joyfully read cover to cover?
He notes,
Where the book really scores high marks is in its depiction of carnival life, the parlance and little behind-the-scenes nuggets of information, in capturing the things that go into creating the mass illusion – call it magic if you must – that makes such places so special in people’s lives and memories.I had thought about this as well:
There is a supernatural element in here that is somewhat jarring when you consider the core theme of the HCC imprint is supposed to be “hard boiled crime” after all. But then, this is a Stephen King book, so we shouldn’t be surprised to find its murder-mystery spiced with ghosts and people who have the “Shining”.Arul suggests that the great story telling found in Joyland is a hopeful sign of good things to come in Doctor Sleep. I couldn't agree more!
Will Paton giving voice to Doctor Sleep
Simon & Schuster Audio has announced Will Patton is the narrator for the audiobook version of DOCTOR SLEEP. Patton is a beloved audiobook narrator who currently stars in the TNT series Falling Skies.
Excerpt From Doctor Sleep
AARP has printed an excerpt of Stephen King's upcoming novel, Doctor Sleep.
By introducing Dick Hallorann, King acts quickly to make it clear that this story is building from his novel, not Mr. Kubrick's version of The Shining. The narration actually feels very much like the voice King gave us in The Shining. Same author -- but after all these years you would think it hard to return.
In Prefatory Matters we learn that Wendy and Danny received a small settlement from the owners of the Overlook. We quickly get to revisit room 217 (another nod to the novel over the film.) In this short scene, Danny is eight.
This is masterful:
Close your eyes, Dick Hallorann had told him once upon a time. If you see something bad, close your eyes and tell yourself it's not there and when you open them again, it will be gone.
But it hadn't worked in Room 217 when he was five, and it wouldn't work now. He knew it. He could smell her. She was decaying.In Chapter 1, titled "Welcome to Teenytown," an adult Danny has turned to drinking, shadowing his own father's misery. He bops from job to job and town to town, reminding me of David Banner in The Hulk.
King quickly takes us back in time. Note the narrative voice here,
Sorry, Deenie, you lose, but nobody leaves empty-handed. What have we got for her, Johnny?Check out the excerpt at www.aarp.org
Well, Bob, Deenie didn't win any money, but she's leaving with our new home game, several grams of cocaine, and a great big wad of FOOD STAMPS!
