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.

really enjoyed the first half but then it felt like too much was going on too fast. preferred the more creepy vibes of the earlier portion of the book than the thriller parts of the second half.
This was such a fun read! It’s honestly been a while since I read any of King’s novels, let alone anything from him recently, since his more recent work didn’t mesh well with me. Thankfully, with “Later”, it feels like a return to form for King, offering up a story with some great characters, while bringing in some unique storytelling within horror elements. While it may not be as compelling and “scary” as his earlier works, this still was a very, very entertaining read.
As a Stephen King fan, this is one of my favourite books of his.
Great story and I couldn’t put it down.
I liked the scary elements in it especially if you have a great imagination.
It’s a must-read book :-)
