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.
