Billy Halleck is both the beneficiary and the victim of the American good life--he has an expensive home, a nice family, and a rewarding career, but he is also 50 pounds overweight and afraid of a heart attack. In a moment of carelessness, he sideswipes an old gypsy woman in the street, and her ancient father curses him with one word: Thinner. Six weeks later he is 93 pounds lighter and terrified. He's desperate enough for one last gamble that will lead him to a nightmare showdown with the forces of evil melting his flesh away, and away, and away. . .
