Thinner — Narrated Edition

From Stephen King comes Thinner, available as a complete audiobook for Literature & Fiction listeners.

©1984 Richard Bachman (P)2009 Penguin Audio The unpause-able novel of one man’s quest to find the source of his nightmare and to reverse it before he becomes…nothing at all. This number-one national best seller from Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman, “pulsates with evil…it will have you on the edge of your seat” ( Publishers Weekly ). Billy Halleck commits vehicular manslaughter when his lack of attention results in the death of an old gypsy lady on the street. Overweight Halleck is a lawyer with connections, though, and he gets off with a slap on the wrist. After the trial, the victim’s ancient father curses him with a single word: “thinner”. Shedding weight by the week, Halleck is desperate enough for one last gamble…one that will lead him to a nightmare showdown with the forces of evil melting his flesh away. With an introduction by Stephen King on “The Importance of Being Bachman”, Thinner is a novel of “undeniable suspense” ( The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ) and “genuine chills” ( Kirkus Reviews ).
