Later by Stephen King

The king of horror (but not only) Stephen King returns with a new novel with a child at the center of the story in the most problematic phase of his life, that of growing up. Jamie Conklin has a special power that not all children possess, and precisely because of this, the mother always tries to invite him to be cautious and not to fall into temptation. In his life he will have to give in and often he will do it for love of neighbor but this will cause many problems. King will give you a new coming-of-age novel, still a book in which to discern between good and evil, with that magical and uncanny touch that only the American writer can have and convey.
