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.

斯蒂芬·金，1947年出生于美国缅因州波特兰市，后在缅因州州立大学学习英国文学，毕业后因工资菲薄而走上写作之路。自1973年出版首部长篇小说《魔女嘉莉》后，迄今已著有40多部长篇小说和两百多部短篇小说。其作品是近年来美国畅销书排行榜上的常客，还被翻译成30多种语言。有超过百部影视作品取材自他的小说。他因此被誉为“现代惊悚小说大师”。1999年，斯蒂芬·金遭遇严重车祸，侥幸大难不死。在康复后，他又立刻投入写作。2003年，他获得美国国家图书基金会颁发的“杰出贡献奖”。其后又先后获得世界奇幻文学奖“终身成就奖”和美国推理作家协会“爱伦·坡奖”的“大师奖”。在斯蒂芬·金的众多作品中，以历时30余年才终于完成的奇幻巨著“黑暗塔”系列（共七卷）颇为壮观，也很受金迷推崇，书里的人物与情节，散见于斯蒂芬·金的其他小说中，堪称他极重要的作品。近年来的新作有短篇集《日落之后》，中篇集《暗夜无望》和长篇小说《11/22/63》《穹顶之下》《长眠医生》等。目前斯蒂芬·金与妻子居住于缅因州。
