Review summary

This seller has earned a 3.80 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
3.80 / 5 (287 total reviews)

Readers broadly liked Stephen King’s Later as a lean, fast read that blends ghost story, coming-of-age, and light crime. They praised the accessible prose, vivid main character, creepy set pieces, and Easter eggs linking to King’s universe. Many also noted that the brevity and speed left limited buildup, thin secondary characters, and less sustained suspense. The first-person voice drew mixed reactions—some found it engaging, others felt the Gen Z narrator sounded too old or detached. The late twist and ending were divisive, seen as either unnecessary or a fun surprise. Audiobook narration by Seth Numrich earned strong marks. Overall: solid and entertaining, if not top-tier King.

From the publisher

"Part detective tale, part thriller...touching and genuine." --The New York Times

#1 bestselling author Stephen King returns with a brand-new novel about the secrets we keep buried and the cost of unearthing them.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

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 mom 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.
