There’s no connection between the three stories, apart from the red thread of spookiness that pervades most of King’s books. The other two being the curious but mostly unsatisfying The Colorado Kid and the thoroughly enjoyable Joyland. Later is the third book from King published by Hard Case Crime. Spoilers follow, so if you haven’t read yet, stop now. Later clocks in at under 250 pages and is all killer and no filler. Sure, he’s written plenty of short stories but these days his novels tend to be lengthy tomes a match for any heavy door than needed propping open. Later is that rare thing – a short Stephen King novel.
