63: Original Ending to be Released?

2011/12/20 19:02:54 +00:00 | Jonathan James

When Stephen King originally completed his latest book, 11/22/63, it didn't have the same ending it does now. It was only after feedback from his son, Joe Hill, that changes were made. So will we ever be able to read the original ending? It looks like it may be released early next year. Here's what was posted by the moderator of the official Stephen King website's message board:

**Spoiler Warning** "I've read both of them and have been meaning to ask him if he would consider putting the first version on the site so people could compare. He told me he'd changed it because Joe had seen some problems with the way the first one was written but I don't know with 100% certainty whether Joe gave him specific ideas for the rewrite...

...I was able to ask Steve about this, so here's his answer. Joe only told him that Jake had to meet Sadie again when she was an old lady but how that happened was completely Steve's idea so what we've read in the book was all Steve's writing based on Joe's suggestion to have Jake see Sadie one more time . He also told me it would be okay to put up the original version of the ending but I need to wait at least a month before doing so to give more people the chance to read it as published."

We'll make sure to be on the lookout for the original ending and will have it for our readers as soon as it is released. For more information on 11/22/63, visit: http://dailydead.com/stephen-kings-112263-released-today/
