STEPHEN KING LATER MOVIE

If you were thinking that because he sees dead people it would be similar to the Bruce Willis movie The Sixth Sense, it is nothing like it.īecause of Jamie’s ability to see and speak to the dead, and the dead cannot lie and must always answer honestly, this soon brings him to the attention of his mother’s partner and NYPD detective who wants to exploit his talents for her own gain.

The story starts from when he was age just 6. The story is told by a 22-year-old Jamie Conklin telling you about his life and how he found out lots of things later, and how his ability to see and speak to dead people, but not ghosts, caused a lot of problems. It is also shorter than a lot of his other novels with the paperback being less than 250 pages. It is very different from his trademark out and out horror stories, mixing the supernatural with a crime story and even a coming-of-age story. Overall, Stephen King’s Later (published by Hard Case Crime) is a very good and extremely enjoyable story. For the most part he is just like every other kid his age with one exception, he can see dead people! Born with this unnatural ability, his mother urges him to keep it a secret as he can learn the secrets that the dead want to stay secret and secrets that others may want, as he later finds out when he is dragged into the hunt for a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave. Jamie Conklin is the son of a struggling single mother. Later is a story about growing up and facing your demons, lost innocence and is a mix of a crime thriller and supernatural/horror thriller. When he has a new novel available, I want it, so when in March 2021 he released a new novel, a story called Later, I had to get it – and certainly didn’t put it off until later! For decades I have been a big fan of Stephen King, I love most of his novels (pretty much everything except the Dark Tower series, it just didn’t interest me).
