After Stephen King

One of those novels in which Stephen King he once again confirms the differential fact that separates him from any other author, a kind of verisimilitude of the extraordinary. Getting to blend in with the exceptional, with the extrasensory, is like once again convincing ourselves of a world such as we saw it as children, even if it is to disturb us or even to scare us.

No one else is capable of such narrative precision towards the hypnotic. People (more than characters) who are so natural and precisely outlined can make us believe that they fly instead of walking and also convince us that this is normal. From there everything else is sewing and singing. Even if we have to adjust to little Jamie's psyche, with that childlike point of "The Sixth Sense," King does it with that strange ability of his.

A child who sees the dead, yes. But what could he not tell us Stephen King without convincing us of its most absolute rigor and realism? In this novel that "After" is the step after the farewells that no one would want to experience. The goodbyes that only a child can do disguised as imaginative until later. All peppered with settings as friendly as they are spooky. Close, friendly, open sensations around the madness itself, as from the first session of therapy or exorcism.

That's when King has beaten our pulse to make us go through normality made paranormal, through the dilemmas of those people charged with the significance of the marked difference between mediocrity, gift or condemnation ...

This is how a short novel feels, intense and with the most unexpected twist as a prelude to an ending that, otherwise, remained a soulless point. This is how a writer of the fantastic ends up splashing with realism from a strangeness that crushes souls in search of essential emotions fiercely faced, from horror to deep emotion. Nothing new about the master except the warm surprise of your assured enjoyment.
