I actually just found this out earlier this morning, but this absolutely blows my mind. Tolkien actually had an idea for a sequel to Lord of the Rings called The New Shadow. They say he had about 30 pages of finished text, however I haven't found it yet. (Although, I am sure it is up somewhere on the internet)

JRR Tolkien’s "The New Shadow"
Just google The New Shadow and you'll find all kinds of stuff. How many of you actually new about this? Has anyone ever even heard of the New Shadow? Has anyone read the first 30 pages? Do you think it would be as good as LoTR?
Personally, I believe it would have been magnificent as they said it was sinister and depressing. (Tolkien actually quit work on it, because of this if I am not mistaken?) If Tolkien would have finished the New Shadow he would have most likely created a Dark Fantasy craze and many more plot lines to ripoff.
So what are your thoughts on this?
