“More in the vein of Kent Haruf” – Elevation by Stephen King

"It's a slim book by King's standards, scraping in at just over 130 pages (and including the opening chapter of Gwendy's Button Box, another excellent King novella of recent years), and you'll more than likely tear through it in a morning of sustained reading. In terms of what kind of a King book it is, although there are supernatural kinks to proceedings, this is a King book more in the vein of Kent Haruf. Gentle, imbued with a mild humour, yet underlined with serious intent (it would be interesting to know how many of King's readers sit on the more homophobic side of the fence, and if a book like this can make them think twice, even if only for a time), Elevation is a minor work, certainly, but by no means a bad one."
