Her girlfriend, Liz Dutton, an NYPD detective who has more than a few skeletons in her closet, has been in Jamie’s life for a while too. Tia, a literary agent and editor, is a successful publisher due to her “golden goose,” author Regis Thomas. Jamie and his mother, Tia, are just trying to live their best life in New York City. They generally only stick around for a little while, “a week or so,” and most of all, they can’t lie when asked a question by Jamie. They usually can be found in places of their death or other significance. There are rules in place for the dead, which sets it apart and adds unique lore to the genre. Yes, I too, went directly to Haley Joel Osment lying under the hospital sheets, and there are parallels for sure, but it’s the Sixth Sense told from the mind of Stephen King. Later, his third installment in the Hard Case Crime series, along with The Colorado Kid (2005) and Joyland (2012), is told through the perspective of our lead Jamie Conklin in a shuffling narrative that follows Jamie from eight to fifteen years of age.

Stephen King proves that no one does it better and his most recent novella, Later, might add another name to that legendary list. From Carrie White ( Carrie), Danny Torrance ( The Shining), and Charlie McGee ( Firestarter) to the group of youngsters from the pages of The Institute. The author has a long and diverse history regarding children with special “gifts” or powers. Stephen King‘s latest novel, Later, just came out this past March.
