Somehow King manages to remember exactly what it's like to be a child and a teen in the world of adults. An excellent book by Stephen King that I'd love to watch as a limited series at some point. I hope to see more of the IT universe come to life like it has through Jamie, our young protagonist (and Narrator) in New York in this book, or perhaps another child somewhere else. Whereas the story feels like it had an ending, it's clear the story isn't over. So yes, this is a crime storybut mostly it’s a horror story. It has drug dealers and dirty cops and kidnapping and a serial bomber. Stephen King will officially release his 62nd full-length novel in March 2021 titled Later, that may feature a plot which could resolve a major issue in his non-horror books. Yes, it’s a Hard Case Crime release, and yes, it has plenty of the necessary ingredients for a crime story. Here's why it can resolve the issues of his non-horror books. Without spoiling anything, there is something sinister in the story that connects this book to the IT universe in a subtle way. Stephen King's 62nd novel is titled Later, and is part of his Hard Case Crime series. The story is very easy to read with short chapters - this combined with the captivating plot made the book hard to put down. As the novel frequently reminds the reader 'this is a horror story' however, it's not scary or gratuitous. The characters are fleshed out though there are no unnecessary pages of rambling just a nice tight story from beginning to end. The story itself is shorter than most other novels but the pacing is excellent. From the moment I picked this book up I was hooked.
