Thinner is a horror novel by American author Stephen King, published in 1984 by NAL under King's pseudonym Richard Bachman. The story centers on lawyer Billy Halleck, who kills a crossing Romani woman in a road accident and escapes legal punishment because of his connections. However, the woman's father places a curse on Halleck, which causes him to lose weight uncontrollably.

1 star

This should have been a short story, if it had to be a story at all. Nothing about this book clicked with me, from the unsympathetic characters to the tedious "action", and King Bachman's treatment of the Romany seemed particularly tone deaf. Usually I enjoy King's work, but I admit I had to skim a lot of this just to make it through. Would not recommend.
