Very well done book, the seemingly casual tone taken throughout with the occasional joke made it an interesting read.

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 the third book Stephen King has written for Hard Case Crime. Both of the previous two, THE COLORADO KID and JOYLAND, were New York Times bestsellers.

Stephen King commented, "I love the Hard Case format, and this story-combining a boy who sees beyond our world and strong elements of crime and suspense-seemed a perfect fit."

" LATER is a beautiful story about growing up and facing your demons -- whether they're metaphorical or (as sometimes happens when you're in a Stephen King novel) the real thing," said Charles Ardai, the Edgar Award-winning editor of Hard Case Crime. "It's terrifying, tender, heartbreaking and honest, and we're so excited to bring it to readers."

LATER will be published initially as a paperback original, featuring an original cover painting by Paul Mann. This edition will be followed by a limited-edition hardcover that will feature two new cover paintings by award-winning artist Gregory Manchess, one for LATER itself and one for a fictitious novel within the novel that features prominently in the plot. An ebook edition of LATER will also be available.

“Let’s get one thing clear right now, shall we? There is no Idea Dump, no Story Central, no Island of the Buried Bestsellers; good story ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky: two previously unrelated ideas come together and make something new under the sun. Your job isn’t to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up” Page (37).
