About this listen

Number-one best-selling 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 mum 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.

This story nails character. Love the voice of the protagonist changing from child to teen to adult reflecting back. There are no small characters in King's pages, each one is fully developed and rich and inviting.

Great characters

Great read, did not pick the little twist at the end. Really enjoyed this book.

Such a twist at the end.

This book isn't bad but it isn't great either. Nothing really happens? It keeps hinting at something cool happening later and then it never happens. As usual it references his other work in a titillating way.

Good but a little disappointing

As usual, Stephen King does not disappoint. The narration is also absolutely great. Overall, unpausable.

This is a horror story.

Easy listen with just the right amount of creepiness. Not the best King novel. But still good. The narrator was excellent.

Different

A stead pace of twist and turns of unimaginable gore of an innocent boy and his nemesis. Really enjoyed the creative genius of the story.

Great Story of What a Boy can See

Really good. Well narrated, punchy story line. Well worth buying. Especially good for car listening

Brilliant

I rate the story and narrator as perfect because it I love the way King tells stories from a child's view of the world. In this case, the boy was growing older as the story advanced. I enjoyed the narrator. He did a great job.

The key to my enjoyment of his books is that I get lost in his stories. The journey is never boring, not even for a second.

King's Journey

I’m a big fan of SK and the work he has produced. I’ve been infatuated with his story telling and with the characters he has been able to fathom and breathe life into.

This book was good, and but could have been much much better, fuller and could have been much more personal.

I felt like I was reading this from a zoomed out birds eye view, as if I was in the other side of a closed window trying to get in, closer.


All in all, not bad, and a good short story.

Interesting.

Allthough this book is a bit shorter than Kings usual novels, it is as well written as always. I am certainly looking forward to reading a second book with this character. And I think there will be one.

Amazing as always
