Creasing to the spine and light wear to the extremities. Thinneris ahorrornovel by American authorStephen King, published in 1984 byNALunder King's pseudonymRichard Bachman.[1]The story centers on lawyer Billy Halleck, who kills a crossingGypsyin a road accident and escapes legal punishment because of his connections. However, the Gypsy's father places a curse on Halleck, which causes him to lose weight uncontrollably. King, who was overweight at the time of the novel's writing, created the novel's outline following an annual medical examination. Following the book's release, media outlets discussed the similarities between the works of Bachman and King. Eventually, bookstore clerk Stephen Brown, a fan of King's work, located evidence from copyright data held in theLibrary of Congressthat Bachman and King were the same person. After the secret of King's pseudonym was revealed, sales ofThinnerincreased tenfold. In total, over three million copies ofThinnerhave been sold. Critical reception toThinnerwas polarized; some reviewers disliked the authorship deception and pessimistic ending, while others held these same points as merits of the book. The literary style, however, was generally praised. Afilm adaptationwas released in 1996.[2](Wikipedia) First Edition with "First Printing, November, 1984 and the complete number line on the copyright page.
