Coming Soon: November 7

Stephan Kings new book 11/22/63 is here. There was a short preview of it at the end Mile 81, a short story I read a little while ago. This book is about what could happen if you could change the past. Particularly, on November 22, 1963 when President Kennedy was killed.

Jake Epping is a GED English teacher, when he asks his students to write a story about an event that changed their lives, one of his students Harry, writes about the night when his father came home and killed is mother, sister, and brother with a sledgehammer. Reading the essay reminds Jake how life can change in a second. Not soon after Al, a diner owner, divulges to Harry that his storage closet is a portal to the past. He tells Harry that he wants him to continue his obsession of preventing Kennedy's assassination. Jake journey leads him into 1958, across America from Maine to Dallas. Where the past isn't the past and history might be changed.
