I had a hard time finishing this but did. I recently read 'Fariytale' by Stephen King which includes a boy going to a mystery land full or strange characters included one he refers to as a leprechaun. With a silly accent and all. Well in 'Later' , the narrator is the same and uses the same voices he used for the 'Fairytale' characters and I can't see past all these 'Normal' people as strange underworld characters. Even the name 'Terrio' and nickname 'Champ' in 'Later' are similar to a names used in 'Fairytale.' Makes it hard to enjoy. Otherwise story is creepy and the plot is interesting.
