SYNOPSIS

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 traycase with ribbon, styled with the Hard Case Crime logo.
