Hard Case Crime previously published two of my favorite Stephen King novels—The Colorado Kid and Joyland—so I'm thrilled that they've teamed up with King once again to publish his new book, Later. With the supernatural noir now available in paperback, audio, and digital (ahead of its limited edition hardcover release on March 30th), we've been provided with an excerpt to share with Daily Dead readers!

Press Release: Hard Case Crime, the award-winning line of pulp-styled crime novels published by Titan Books, will publish Later, a brand-new novel by Stephen King, on March 2, 2021.
Later tells the story of Jamie Conklin, a boy whose unusual abilities could aid his single mom and her police detective lover – but only at a terrible cost.

Looking over two of the most recent book covers from Hard Case Crime (Hcc) you can’t help but see a pattern. The Comedy Is Finished by Donald E. Westlake has a gorgeous painted cover from Gregory Manchess, and False Negative by Joseph Koenig has its own delightful image from Hard Case Crime stalwart Glen Orbik. Aside from being fantastically well made, both covers feature women in the primary roles. Both women are also naked with modesty only being retained via strategically placed hair or a sheet.
The question becomes, why does the naked woman trope fit so well onto the cover of a pulp crime novel?
You could argue it is to elicit a titillated response from the reader but is that really true? Do pulp crime readers come to these books for the salacious thrills? Possibly some, but I’d argue this isn’t the point of the nakedness.
