The iconic bestseller from Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman which 'pulsates with evil
. . . [and] will have you on the edge of your seat' (Publishers Weekly) - now with a stunning
new cover look. 'Thinner' - the old gypsy man barely whispers the word. Billy feels the
touch of a withered hand on his cheek. Billy Halleck prosperous if overweight citizen
happily married shudders then turns angrily away. The old woman's death has been none of his
fault. The courts have cleared him. She just stumbled in front of his car. Now he simply wants
to forget the whole messy business. Later when the scales tell him he is losing weight it
is just what the doctor ordered. His wife is pleased - as she should be. But . . . 'Thinner'
- the word the old man's curse has lodged in his mind like a fattening worm eating at his
flesh at his reason. And with his despair comes violence.
