Later by Stephen King

Original Cover Page

Description

"Part detective tale, part thriller...touching and genuine."--The New York Times

#1 bestselling author Stephen King returns with a brand-new novel about the secrets we keep buried and the cost of unearthing them.

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 a terrifying and touching story of innocence lost and 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. This novel is a mismatch of many genres--thriller, ghost story, supernatural-coming-of-age. It is something King has done always, and he is getting better and better at it with very fine, sharp, and precise writing. Of course, his characters are always forced to grow up in ways that both frighten and delight us.
