SOMETIMES GROWING UP 
 
MEANS FACING YOUR DEMONS
 
The son of a struggling single mother, Jamie Conklin just wants an ordinary childhood. But Jamie is no ordinary child. Born with an unnatural ability his mom urges him to keep secret, Jamie can see what no one else can see and learn what no one else can learn. But the cost of using this ability is higher than Jamie can imagine – as he discovers when an NYPD detective draws him into the pursuit of a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave. 
 
LATER is Stephen King at his finest, a terrifying and touching story of innocence lost and the trials that test our sense of right and wrong. With echoes of King’s classic novel It, LATER is a powerful, haunting, unforgettable exploration of what it takes to stand up to evil in all the faces it wears.

    Good story. Easy to read. Not the horror that King has done in the past. This story is almost believable…
  • Easy quick read

    Loved this book! I have been hesitant to get back into Stephen King, because I find his older stuff much too long and descriptive. This was just the thing. It’s definitely still scary and for sure inventive. I would love to read more about this character in this format. Would recommend to anyone who likes crime or horror!

    4 Stars. I love these throwback, pulpy books by King. This one was a great fall read. I always enjoy King in the fall. It’s his time, I think. As usual, the characters drove the book. No one creates them better than he does. I almost feel like there is more to this story. Maybe a lot more. I guess we’ll see. Happy Halloween Month.
