I am currently working and saying that too much feels like a Jinx. “
This would not have been the first time that King had contributed to the adjustments of his works. He wrote a new end for 2020s The stand Miniseries that were generally received as an improvement in the original conclusion of the book. In view of the extensive and cyclical nature of the Dark Tower Book series, King would be plenty of space to optimize the story elements without watering what fans love on the books.
