Published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman
Billy Halleck is a successful lawyer with a nice house, a family he loves, and a secret: he killed someone. It was an accident…he thinks. A moment of distraction behind the wheel. But the old man whose daughter died doesn’t believe in justice through the courts. He believes in curses.
Suddenly, Billy begins losing weight. Rapidly. Inexplicably. And it won’t stop.
Thinner is a sharp, unsettling tale of guilt, revenge, and decay. As Billy wastes away, he’s forced to confront what really happened, and how far he’s willing to go to save his life. Grim, fast-paced, and dripping with dread, it’s a horror story with no monsters…just a man being peeled down to the bone.
