Just last month we shared the creepy cover art and rundown on Stephen King's upcoming 2018 novel THE OUTSIDER and today we have news that yet another King book is on it's way to our shelves and Kindles this year as well.

The new book is called ELEVATION. It runs a slim 144 pages and will be hitting us on October 30, 2018. You can find the synopsis below and we will make sure to keep on top of this novel and send along any and all news once we hear it.

Until then make sure to hit us up and let us know how excited you are to be getting TWO new Stephen King books (The Outsider and Elevation) in 2018 in the comments below or on social media.

Rundown via Amazon:

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.”

ELEVATION hits October 30, 2018.
