Don`t blame me for the categories - these were the top eight chosen by the regular WRQ quizzers...

but, as I chose the questions, I admit that a couple of questions might be a bit of a stinker and require a bit of thinking about.

Good luck everyone

Thanks @Cleoriff

I didn`t realise there was a book sequel Doctor Sleep. I must add it to my "must purchase and read" list.

Love Stephen King books.
