Story
“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Story
The son of a struggling single mother, Jamie Conklin just wants an ordinary childhood. But Jamie is no ordinary child. Born with an unnatural ability his mom urges him to keep secret, Jamie can see what no one else can see and learn what no one else can learn. But the cost of using this ability is higher than Jamie can imagine—as he discovers when an NYPD detective draws him into the pursuit of a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave.

Story
Just After Sunset - call it dusk, call it twilight, it's a time when human intercourse takes on an unnatural cast, when nothing is quite as it appears, when the imagination begins to reach for shadows as they dissipate to darkness and living daylight can be scared right out of you. It's the perfect time for Stephen King.

We ought to palaver, you and me."

Across the lake, they can see what “real rich” looks like: the Massimo family’s Twelve Pines Camp, the big white mansion with guest house and tennis court that Alden’s Ma says is paid for by “ill-gotten gains” courtesy of Massimo Construction.

No one but Stephen King could tell this story about the darkness at the heart of the unknown and our compulsion to investigate the unexplained. With echoes of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon and the work of Graham Greene, one of the world's great storytellers presents a surprising tale that explores the nature of mystery itself.

Publisher's Summary
Stephen King reads his latest novel - plus a bonus story, “Laurie,” unavailable in book form!
“As the narrator, King enhances the story’s good-hearted appeal with this twangy, aw-shucks delivery. He gives a strong portrayal of everyman Scott Carey, whose strange affliction sends him on a quest of self-discovery and neighborly kindness. And King’s isn’t just a pleasant voice. He crafts a polished aural experience with a keen sense of pacing and fun accents for his motley Maine characters.” (AudioFile)
Number-one New York Times best seller
The latest from legendary master storyteller Stephen King, a riveting, extraordinarily eerie, and moving story about a man whose mysterious affliction brings a small town together - a timely, upbeat tale about finding common ground despite deep-rooted differences.
Although Scott Carey doesn’t look any different, he’s been steadily losing weight. There are a couple of other odd things, too. He weighs the same in his clothes and out of them, no matter how heavy they are. Scott doesn’t want to be poked and prodded. He mostly just wants someone else to know, 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 low grade - but escalating - battle with the lesbians next door whose dog regularly drops his business on Scott’s lawn. One of the women is friendly; the other, cold as ice. Both are trying to launch a new restaurant, but the people of Castle Rock want no part of a gay married couple, and the place is in trouble. When Scott finally understands the prejudices they face - including his own - he tries to help. Unlikely alliances, the annual foot race, and the mystery of Scott’s affliction bring out the best in people who have indulged the worst in themselves and others.
From Stephen King, our “most precious renewable resource, like Shakespeare in the malleability of his work” (The Guardian), Elevation is an antidote to our divisive culture, as gloriously joyful (with a twinge of deep sadness) as It’s a Wonderful Life.

2 stories, 1 very good, 1 not so very good
The title novella is based on the premise that a 42 YO man is inexplicably loosing weight (no, not the same as Thinner), but staying the same size. He looses a pound or 2 each day, but his physique remains the same. If he touches someone or something, they become weightless, but they stay heavy to him. Sounds clunky? It is. Extremely. What would otherwise be a good story with a good message is lost in trying to fit this ridiculous plot mechanism in. Does Stephen King not use editors anymore?
The second is a short story about a man, recently widowed, who has a puppy thrust upon him by his loving but sometimes overbearing sister. It's very good.

Get this book, don't hesitate!
I love Stephen King. His novels have kept me up many nights. This book looks behind the curtain and I smiled, laughed out loud and was touched by his childhood stories. We should all be as loved as much as he loves his wife and family. Don't ever change!

Just a real good story!
This definitely differs from King's usual novels both in length and context. It is a story that hits you right in the feels, both the happy and the sad ones. With King narrating the book himself it seems to give you a little something extra to it.

Lower end of the 'King Scale'
It was okay. Good quick listen and it was great to hear King narrate the story himself. To me the story itself fell a bit short. Didn't seem to have the signature horror, mystery or drama that a Stephen King novel is known for. It was a bit different. Good short read though.

Beautiful
I think the quote about this story being on par with Its A Wonderful Life is too much, but it is a beautiful and big story set in small places, where all the wonderful stuff is. Highly worth listening to, and King does a great job as narrator. I’ll listen to him again.
