Elevation

Book • 2018
In 'Elevation,' Stephen King tells the story of Scott Carey, a man living in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine.

Scott is experiencing a bizarre condition where he is losing weight continuously, yet his physical appearance remains unchanged.

As he navigates this strange affliction, Scott becomes involved in the lives of his new neighbors, Deirdre and Missy, a lesbian couple facing prejudice from the local community.

The story culminates in the town's annual Thanksgiving 12K run, where Scott's condition and his newfound friendships lead to a poignant exploration of community, acceptance, and the human condition.

The novella is a timely tale about finding common ground despite deep-rooted differences and features King's signature blend of supernatural elements and emotional depth.
