Spoilers obviously. But if anyone here read this book, I think I have a much better ending.
So the normal ending is that he saves JFK, and as a result the world in the present is shit and he basically ruined the world. However, if I wrote the book, I would have made it so that when he went back to the present, it would be a utopia, humanity has finally figured it out and achieved world peace. Basically it would seem like the way that humanity was MEANT to go
I think this kind of ending would be a lot more unnerving, because it would imply that we were THIS close to achieving it. What do you think? The last line would be something like "The world was finally the way it was supposed to be", imp[lying the world we currently live in is wrong.

The point was that in the canon version of the story, the MC has to make a very difficult decision, that is, have JFK be killed.
With your version, it's barely a story at all.

A better ending would've been he is saved from assassination and then dies in an "accidental" plane crash the next day. The Russians are blamed and WWIII starts.

Is there a name for this particular kind of horror? That is, Twilight Zone-like, where it's mostly about the surreal nature of reality? I loved a lot of the motifs, like the past not wanting to be changed, or how the past harmonizes.

The Butterfly Effect???

The whole point is that negative repercussions occur from changing the past, both with Jake's attempt to save JFK and Sadie. It wouldn't work if the end result was a positive one, like >>9006222 put it.
