My gut feeling is that he had the storyline for Wind Through the Keyhole in mind before he asked the question. I voted for Dr. Sleep also, but I'm happy with Wind.

I have to admit that I, for one, was rather surprised that Danny Torrance did not put in an appearance in TDT. I have always wondered what his furthering story may have been more than almost any other "King" character. Someone who "Shines" like Danny must have had many very interesting further adventures. Also, Charlie from "Firestarter" pretty much fits that description as well.

I was one of the people who voted for Doctor Sleep. While I'm still excited for more Dark Tower, it's only an 'interquel', so we already know that nothing truly important will happen in it (and if it does, it could seriously stretch believability on re-reads of books V through VII). Doctor Sleep sounded much more intriguing, as we have no idea where the story might go. My introduction to Stephen King was Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining, which I saw when I was about eight years old. It's the only film I've ever found truly disturbing. Danny Torrance is a character with whom I've been familiar since my childhood, so I think I'd genuinely care about his fate when reading Doctor Sleep – probably more so than any of King's other protagonists (with the possible exception of some Dark Tower characters). And if the book is a success, a film could be on the horizon, and most people would perceive it as a sequel to the Kubrick film. However it turned out, it would be fascinating to watch.
Will this book be released at your major retailers such as Books-a-Million, Barnes and Noble, etc?
As far as Danny in TDT goes, after finishing the series the Hotel's obession with Danny was evocative of the Crimson King's hunt for the psychics throughout the multiverse.
I also thought Danny Torrance would pop up somewhere in the DT novels...the mysterious Manager of the Overlook Hotel wanting Danny's powers really reminded me of The Crimson King.

I started reading the series just before the comics came out. It just happened that Right as I was starting WaG the comics came out. I made the mistake of reading the comics while reading the book. So Reading the book version felt like reading a book for a high school report. I think if I had waited to read the comics I would of enjoyed the book more.
Very Cool!!
ENVY!

I wonder if there will be the large paperback versions? I own 1-7 of the large paperback versions that have the drawings.
According to Amazon, the book's title is The Wind Through the Keyhole: A Dark Tower Novel. Dunno about the sound of that, makes it sound cheap somehow. I hope it'll still be The Dark Tower: The Wind Through the Keyhole

Scribner's site lists it as The Wind Through the Keyhole: A Dark Tower Novel.
i feel almost positive that this is what the title will be, being as how it doesn't fit neatly into the series.

And I agree with Justin--it just doesn't fit nicely into the Dark Tower series as such.

It might not even mention The Dark Tower. I think it will just be called, "The Wind Through the Keyhole", with a sub heading.
Pablo, your link didn't work for me. That's why I posted the other version.

Good call Bill. Can't go wrong with a new DT novel.
