Thinner by Richard Bachman Summary
Overview of Thinner
Stephen King's curse tale that sold a modest 28,000 copies until his pseudonym was exposed - then sales exploded tenfold. This literary experiment proved a chilling point: sometimes your name carries more weight than the darkness you create.

A Curse That Strips More Than Weight
Billy Halleck has it all-successful law career in affluent Connecticut, beautiful wife, teenage daughter, and all the trappings of upper-middle-class comfort. His only struggle is his weight, tipping the scales at 246 pounds despite his doctor's warnings. But Billy's comfortable existence shatters when, distracted by his wife's intimate touch while driving, he strikes and kills an old Gypsy woman crossing the street. The justice system-including his golf buddy Judge Rossington and Police Chief Hopley-protects him completely. No consequences, no punishment. But as Billy leaves the courthouse, the victim's father-an ancient Gypsy man with a rotting nose-touches his cheek and whispers a single word: "Thinner." The next morning, Billy discovers he's lost three pounds. At first pleased, his weight continues dropping rapidly, defying all medical explanation. When a penny weighing machine not only shows his dramatic weight loss but prints out the fortune "THINNER," the horrifying truth becomes clear-he's been cursed. What makes this supernatural revenge so terrifying is its inexorable nature. Each morning's weigh-in becomes a ritual of terror, a countdown to his inevitable demise. Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing yourself disappear a little more each day-what could be more fundamentally frightening?
