The American horror master Stephen King has announced that his latest crime novel, Later, will arrive in bookstores across the world in March 2021. The release will be overseen by Titan Books imprint Hard Case Crime, which specialises in pulp-style crime novels and has published King's previous novels The Colorado Kid and Joyland.

Later will tell the story of Jamie Conklin, as he uses his unnatural abilities to pursue "a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave" with the help of his mother's detective lover.
