If you’ve never read King (which is unlikely, I know), Later would be a wonderful first experience. If you’re a King fan, Later is top-notch King. Short fiction Stephen King is a powerhouse–all that imagination packed into a tiny container. Overall, though, I truly loved reading this book. I would have left it out and leave well enough alone, but I’m obviously not King’s editor. For me, it proved really distracting and detracted from the overall story. King’s only narrative detour arrives when he tosses in a monkey-wrench at the very end regarding that father. It’s briefly mentioned early on that Jamie doesn’t know who is father is–it was something of a throw-away line. Well, on that note, I do have one small complaint. He could have published this book separate from the Hard Case Crime imprint, it’s not necessarily reliant on a crime or a hard-boiled mystery, but it works just fine as it is. At that point, Stephen King can’t help himself and the already supernatural premise becomes more about seeing dead people than crime, but that’s okay. Why bring in the boy, you ask? Because the mad bomber is dead but the bomb is still set to go off. The main character is a young boy named Jamie who is recruited by his mom’s cop-friend, Liz, to help stop a mad bomber from killing hundreds. However, because this book is part of the Hard Case Crime imprint, it tries to focus mostly on a crime element. He is fully aware this premise has already been explored.

Of course, nobody has their finger on pop culture’s pulse more so than Stephen King and he references The Sixth Sense very quickly in Later. When you first start reading Later, you’ll be a little concerned that you’ve already experienced this story. Second, it sticks to a main plot and does not deviate at all. I thoroughly enjoyed Later for a few very simple reasons. As with Elevation, he continues to prove me wrong. I erroneously declared years ago that Stephen King’s best fiction writing days were behind him.
