Elevation
by Stephen King
Elevation is a Stephen King novella set in a small town, where one resident finds himself mysteriously losing weight—a lot of weight. While handling his uncertain future surprisingly well, he also begins helping others in his town and making new friends.
Why did I decide to read this book?
I picked up this novella at my local library after searching for Stephen King books they had available. Recently, I’ve been reading many of his novels (mostly his novellas), and Elevation was one I hadn’t read yet.
What did I love about this book?
I’m a fan of Stephen King’s writing style. The way he brings mundane details to life—such as a conservative town full of diverse personalities—while blending them with a surreal, paranormal life crisis makes this story unpredictable and, at times, unsettling.
I absolutely love horror and mystery with a touch of the unknown and a hint of fantasy. It made for a surprising read, different from other stories I’ve read so far. Right up until the end, it kept me curious and engaged.
Would I recommend this book?
Yes! For fans of short mysteries and paranormal horror, this is a solid pick. And if you’re already a Stephen King reader, especially of his novellas, I definitely recommend adding Elevation to your TBR.
