I only have 150 more days to wait for it. This really was a great read, and while it was short, and over quickly, I’m glad at least that Stephen King has another novel coming out later this year, Billy Summers. When I started this list, I thought about making it 19 things to like about Later, but l decided to keep my whimsy in check. In many ways, the story, and Jamie, reminded me of Robert Silverberg’s Dying Inside and its protagonist, David Selig.This one is a blood-pumping horror story. Jamie matter-of-factly lets the reader know that he sees dead people, just like, you guessed it, the kid in The Sixth Sense. Joyland is an understated mystery and that’s one of the things I liked about it. Later is the story of Jamie Conklin, a boy with a wry, self-deprecating manner who lives in New York with his mom, a literary agent and recovering alcoholic. The book really was a page-turner for me, one that I couldn’t put down.People who’ve read ‘Salem’s Lot might enjoy that coincidence. A house in the book is called the Marsden house.When I can manage to write a story, it is the voice that it always the most important thing for me to find to get started. Readers who enjoyed It might like this one.The story is told as a story being written by the main character, similar to 11/22/63.Stephen King commented, 'I love the Hard Case format, and this storycombining a boy who sees beyond our world and strong elements of crime and suspenseseemed a perfect fit. Both of the previous two, THE COLORADO KID and JOYLAND, were New York Times bestsellers.

King explores avenues (dark corridors?) that went unexplored by the film. LATER is the third book Stephen King has written for Hard Case Crime. The premise of the book is a kid who can see dead people–and King acknowledges the Bruce Willis character in The Sixth Sense early on.His novel Revival also features a lead named Jamie. In fact, this isn’t the first SK book I’ve read with a lead named Jamie. How could I not like a book with a main character that is my namesake. I think it is actually shorter than The Langoliers or The Mist. That’s on par with the other Hard Case Crime novels King has published, like Joyland and The Colorado Kid.
