Sometimes, to grow, you must defeat your demons.

THE KING OF TERROR RETURNS WITH A NEW AND UNFORGETTABLE NOVEL.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Jamie Conklin, the only son of a single mother, just wants to have a normal childhood. However, he was born with a supernatural ability that his mother urges him to keep secret, which allows him to see what no one else can and to learn what the rest of the world ignores. When a New York Police Department detective forces him to prevent the latest attack by a killer who threatens to continue attacking even from the grave, Jamie will soon discover that the price he must pay for his power may be too high.

Later is Stephen King at his purest, a haunting and emotional novel about lost innocence and the trials that must be overcome to differentiate good from evil. Indebted to the author's great classic It (Eso), Later is a powerful, terrifying, and unforgettable tale about the need to confront evil in all its forms.

Critics have said...

«Half detective story, half thriller... It's exciting and authentic.»

The New York Times

«Later is another example of Stephen King's power to tell a simple yet irresistible story.»

New York Journal of Books

«Bloody and disturbing, this thriller has enough secrets and surprises to keep readers hooked until the end. It's a real treat for the author's fans.»

Publishers Weekly

«If you want to mix chills and thrills but don't have time to read a King classic, with this book you'll get it before bed. Although you probably won't be able to sleep.»

Kirkus

«An entertaining and light read that features the masterful ability that has made King a literary legend.»

AARP Magazine

«Another piece of evidence to add to the list of this author's narrative prowess.»

Bookbub

«A new classic for Stephen King fans.»

Associated Press

«King's writing in Later is clean, direct, and evocative, as it always has been. The crime-based plot is compelling, and some sentences are breathtaking... You are in the hands of a masterful storyteller.»

Washington Post

«A very satisfying tale about both the demons we can see and those lurking in the dark.»
