Scheduled for a 2012 release, The Wind Through The Keyhole is understandably without an unveiled plot, as of now. Though, King did end his announcement with an encouraging aside: “It’s not going to change anybody’s life, but God, I had fun.” And, really, what’s more important than that? Uncle Stevie has been writing for a mind-boggling 37 years now—the guy deserves some enjoyment.
If the thought of waiting more than a year for the next Dark Tower book sounds like a living hell for King devotees, there is a silver lining to this news. Just last week, news about King’s next novel, 11/22/63. A time travel story, 11/22/63's fascinating plot involves a high school English teacher who goes back in time to the ’60s in hopes of preventing the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. 11/22/63 is set for a November 8 release.
