#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The latest from legendary get better at storyteller Stephen Ruler, a riveting, extraordinarily eerie, and moving story in regards to a man whose inexplicable affliction brings a small town together—a timely, upbeat story about getting common ground despite deep-rooted variations.

Although Scott Carey doesn’t look any different, he’s been steadily slimming down. There are a couple of other odd things, too. He weighs the same in his clothing and out of these, regardless of how large about Elevation they may be. Scott doesn’t desire to be poked and prodded. He mostly just wants another person to learn, and he trusts Doctor Bob Ellis.

In the small town of Castle Rock, the setting of many of King’s most iconic stories, Scott is engaged in a minimal grade—but escalating—battle with the lesbians nearby whose dog regularly drops his business on Scott’s lawn. Among the females can be friendly; the various other, cold as glaciers. Both want to launch a new restaurant, but the folks of Castle Rock want no component of a gay wedded couple, and the place is in big trouble. When Scott finally understands the prejudices they face–including his personal—he tries to help. Unlikely alliances, the annual foot race, and the secret of Scott’s affliction bring out the best in individuals who have indulged the most severe in themselves as well as others.
