THE FINAL TRUE BACHMAN
After nearly a decade and five novels, Thinner marks the final chapter of Richard Bachman before the pseudonymous masquerade was exposed, revealing the darker literary double of Stephen King. A grotesque satire of American privilege, appetite, and entitlement, the novel charts a horrifying descent toward annihilation. Leaner, colder, and more cynical than King’s contemporaneous work under his own name, it remains the final true Bachman novel before one of modern publishing’s most famous literary unmaskings.
An increasingly scarce first edition.
