Later is the story about Jamie Concklin, an adolescent medium. Specifically, having the ability to see the recently deceased. His power is repressed mainly for the sake of his mother until a series of events requires him to call on it to help his mother and later find a serial killer.
I enjoyed Later and wished there was more to read. King left on the table, and I'm not quite sure why.

“As I said at the beginning, this is a horror story.”
I was planning on reading this next month, but when my non-reader of a husband decided to listen to this audiobook, I couldn’t resist joining him!
First, this short novel packs a punch. The plot is nothing ground-breaking, focusing on a kid that can see dead people, but it is the way King writes that is masterful, full of humour and indeed horror that gets to you. I was laughing and freaking out at the same time, getting tenser and tenser (I’m rubbish at horror). I loved it, even more so when the author made reference to one of my favourite ghost stories (M.R. James) :O)

It was fine I guess but I didn’t really get “horror” from it.
Creepy, I found myself gagging as I read certain parts but all in all it was a great short book. The Story was different from anything else I have ever read. Highly recomend.
Carino, protagonista adorabile, ma mi è sembrato tutto un po' troppo frettoloso.
Il finale non mi ha convinta del tutto, Stefano hai fatto decisamente di meglio in vita tua.

Fantastic. I think this is a great work by Stephen King. Just the right balance of horror, comedy, and suspense. I sometimes think Mr. King does better when he writes short stories and this one is a true winner
