Now if you could only find out if Titan books every did complete their joyland contest - with the 3 prints for following their damn carnival tweet game - waste of time since they never updated their site or gave out info on winners - sorry for venting, and yes great new thread.

From the latest Hodder newsletter :::



Do you want to be the first UK fan to read Stephen King's DOCTOR SLEEP?

"There's only five weeks to go until the publication of Stephen King's new novel DOCTOR SLEEP, and we know that you're all dying to learn what has happened to Danny from THE SHINING.

That's why we're giving you the chance to enter this incredibly exciting competition . . . to be the first fan in the whole of the UK to read DOCTOR SLEEP!

The winner will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement and then have just under 24 hours to read the pages alone in a luxury room in the Langham hotel, London.

Twenty runners up will receive a limited edition A3 poster for DOCTOR SLEEP.

The Langham was frequented by the cream of Victorian society and was immortalised in writing by Conan Doyle using it as the setting for several Sherlock Holmes stories, including “A Scandal in Bohemia” when the central character Count Von Kramm informs Holmes, “you will find me at The Langham, under the name of Count Von Kramm.”

Are you ready?

To enter all you need to do is tell us, in no more than 650 characters, why you think you deserve to be the first UK fan to read DOCTOR SLEEP."

Not exactly a contest, but it is free:

https://www.timeout.com/chicago/news/a-pop-up-bar-inspired-by-the-shining-is-coming-to-ukrainian-village-011718

If a trip to the Overlook Hotel is out of your price range this winter, Chicago’s latest pop-up experience may be of interest to you. Ukrainian Village gastropub the Rookery is channeling Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining as the inspiration for a series of events in the venue’s second-floor lounge.

Visitors at Room 237 can expect the usual array of themed cocktails (with names like the Caretaker, the Hedge Maze and Redrum) and movie-inspired decor, but the organizers behind this pop-up have taken some extra steps to bring The Shining to life. Guests will interact with the characters of Jack, Wendy and loyal bartender Lloyd (all played by local actors) while relaxing in a replica of the Overlook Hotel’s gold room and listening to a soundtrack curated by Mark Gertz (Dark Wave Disco) and Matt Wells (True Mother Records). Plus, each evening at the pop-up will kick off with Stephen King trivia, hosted by Consequence of Sound.

Room 237 will only be open from 9pm to 3am on Saturdays, beginning on January 20 and ending on February 10. Admission is free, so make sure that you show up to the Rookery early—as you know, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Take a look at some photos of the space (as well as its devious residents) and the Room 237 cocktail menu below.
