ever been…the crime-driven plot is propulsive [and] some of
the lines just take your breath away…you’re in the hands of a
master storyteller.” - Washington Post

tale." -Woman's World Magazine (Best Books to Read )

will do the job before bedtime. Not that you’ll
sleep." -Kirkus

worldview, rising tension, pure evil, etc. " - Philadelphia
Inquirer
"A Joy to read...some of King’s best writing...If you haven’t
read a King novel for a while due to timeconstraints, or you would
like an introduction to the man at or near the top of his game,
pick LATER as your delightful literary poison." - BookReporter
"LATER is top-notch Stephen King and one of the most memorable
works in his long and storied writing career. The tale calls to
mind many of his prior works and is the only other story next to
the classic IT to refer to ‘deadlights’ --- a word that should
cause icy chills to run down the spine of any faithful King
reader." - BookReporter
"A satisfying tale about facing demons—both those we can see and
those that lurk in the darkness." - Foreword Reviews

elements, and building suspense, make for [a] great read" -

"A horror story [that] is really more of a genre-bender, combining
the horror with a sensitive coming-of-age tale and an old-school
crime thriller. [A] most ingratiating mix." - Booklist Starred

not regret reading it." - Cinema Sentries
"[King's] clear love of noir fiction joins forces with his horror
bona fides and his still-strong ability to capture the fundamental
truths about being a child, resulting in a lean and propulsive
read." - The Maine Edge
"The truth of the matter is, I enjoyed LATER more than any other
Stephen King in quite a while because it’s short and to the point.
It’s a fast read, easily knocked out in a few hours, and there are
some truly creepy and horrific moments that leave the reader
thinking about certain scenes long after the book is done." -

terrifying." -Cemetery Dance

characters and getting credibly inside their heads...Classic
Stephen King" - SciFi Bulletin

impossible. The action and dialogue interspersed with
spine-chilling terror are engaging from beginning to end. It is a
superb addition to the seemingly endless bibliography of this great
storyteller."
- San Francisco Book Review (5 stars)
"King's freakish storytelling powers are on full display here, with
the strictures of the pulp novel keeping the action moving from
chapter to chapter." - Toronto Star
