Nothing in this story demands a 500+ page book and its short length serves it well.ĭid anyone else read this one? I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a great job.If you’re building a core Stephen King collection, it’s a must to start with the classics ( Carrie, Firestarter, The Dead Zone), the series (The Dark Tower, The Bill Hodges Trilogy), and the epics ( The Stand, IT). This is a shorter Stephen King novel and that serves it well. He lives with his mother, has no idea who his father is, and ends up helping with some ongoing criminal investigations by, you guessed it, interviewing dead people. He says it isn’t like that “Bruce Willis movie”, but it really kind of is like that. It’s about a young man who sees dead people. The advantage is that this one is much shorter, so the commitment is much less. So, here we are and Stephen King has released another book, this time called Later.

I went in unspoiled, didn’t even read the premise, and was excited to experience it blindly. OK, being a bit dramatic, but about a year and a half ago, I treated myself to the latest Stephen King book, specifically the audiobook.
