Elevation

BY STEPHEN KING

New York Post Castle Rock is a small town, where word gets around quickly. That’s why Scott Carey wants to confide only in his friend Doctor Bob Ellis about his strange condition: he’s losing weight, without getting thinner, and the scales register the same when he is in his clothes or out of them, however heavy they are. Scott also has new neighbours, who have opened a `fine dining experience’ in town, although it’s an experience being shunned by the locals; Deidre Mccomb and her wife Missy Donaldson don’t exactly fit in with the community’s expectatio­ns.

And now Scott seems trapped in a feud with the couple over their dogs dropping their business on his lawn. Unlikely alliances form and the mystery of Scott’s affliction brings out the best in people who have indulged the worst in themselves and others.
