(1 customer review)

Thin Scenery was first published in Ploughshares, Volume 43, Number 2, in the Summer 2017 issue of the award-winning literary journal. Guest-edited by novelist Stewart O’Nan, the issue featured new work from Stephen King alongside contributions from several contemporary writers. Remaining uncollected, Thin Scenery represents a rare Stephen King publication that appeared in a prestigious literary magazine dedicated to innovative fiction and diverse narrative voices.

Description

Thin Scenery centers on Harold Crosby, a man who seeks help from psychiatrist Dr. George Frobisher because he believes reality itself is artificial. During a tense and increasingly unsettling conversation, Harold describes his suspicion that the world around him is little more than a stage set with “thin scenery” hiding something vast and disturbing beyond. As the session continues, the doctor’s confidence in rational explanations begins to erode, raising the terrifying possibility that Harold may be telling the truth.
