About the book

From the publisher:

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.

This limited collector's edition of Stephen King's LATER will feature 8 interior illustrations by Rob Gale, two exclusive cover paintings by Gregory Manchess packaged with a bonus variant dust jacket, a stylish back-cover map illustrated in the classic “mapback” style by Robert Hack, a reading ribbon, head and tail bands and quality endpapers.

The lettered edition will be limited to 26 copies and signed on tip-in sheets by Stephen King. The numbered edition will be limited to 374 copies, signed on tip-in sheets by Stephen King. The lettered edition will be packaged in a stylish black tray-case with ribbon, styled with the Hard Case Crime logo.

Editorial Reviews


#1 on The New York Times bestselling Paperback Trade Fiction list

#1 on The Washington Post Paperback Bestsellers list

#1 on the Toronto Star's list of Bestselling Original Fiction in Canada

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

"There’s classic King here for fans... a thrilling whodunit." - Associated Press

“King’s writing in LATER is as clean, direct and evocative as it’s 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
"Delivers his signature twists and turns....An eerie, enthralling tale." -Woman's World Magazine (Best Books to Read )

"Crave chills and thrills but don’t have time for a King epic? This will do the job before bedtime. Not that you’ll sleep." -Kirkus

"Gory and unnerving, this twisty chiller has sufficient sins and revelations to keep readers pursuing the action to its breathless conclusion. King fans are in for a treat." -Publishers Weekly

"An entertaining and breezy read, with the stellar storytelling that has justly made King a literary legend." - AARP Magazine

"Later is a horror story, but it’s also a proper thriller, told by a master of his craft."—The Guardian

"King’s tics and tricks are all in bloom: folksy dialogue, cockeyed 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

    A beautiful special edition of this SK book. I greatly appreciate the various special editions that become available through VFB. As always, the product is exactly as described and comes well-packaged so the books arrive in perfect condition.
