King has basically said he's done (at least at his current 2+ books a year rate) after DT since that is his magnum opus. There is no way he will just quit writing and fall into obscurity.

So, what kinds of projects do you think he will work on? Further spinoffs (backstory) of DT? Mainly stand alone novels or what?

Probably more short stories. I'm sure he wants to fill his desks and shelves with unpublished manuscripts for someone to "find" one day after he's gone. Makes for good estate longevity.

Well, one porject he's doing is a book about the Red Sox.

From StephenKing.com:

New Book Announced
Stewart O'Nan and Stephen King, lifelong Red Sox addicts, will chronicle the 2004 Red Sox season from spring training and Opening Day through to the highly anticipated events of the fall, in a hardcover book that Scribner will publish in late '04. They'll go to some games together and each will keep a diary. They'll argue or agree about plays and trades, and the result will be a fan's notes for the ages.

From what I've read he is actually writing a new novel now, but it will have to wait and see if the public will ever get a chance to read it.

I think with the last Dark Tower book coming out, he might leave that world behind. I see him experimenting in diffrent genres, such as Detective/Mysteries and Westerns.
