250.1Prologue to "The Shining"EVMS::chiles.zko.dec.com::dkoskoDavid KoskoThu May 15 1997 14:064
Are you referring to the one that was originally intended to be a prologue for 
the book "The Shining"?  If so I may have it laying about.

       Dave, I believe so, if you have a copy it would be great.  I hate
    to miss anything the "Master" writes....

re .-1

Good thing!  Because I looked over the weekend and our copy has already 
been trashed.

The short story, which I guess was to be a prologue to the novel, but which 
was chopped by the editors to shorten the book (always King's biggest 
problem - verbosity), was quite interesting.  I think that in a few pages he 
provided some useful insights that, at the time I read the novel, would have 
added interesting perspective.

IMHO I think the editors did us a disservice by chopping it.
