I picked up Thinner not knowing that Bachman was a pseudonym. A few pages in I rolled my eyes at this asshole shamelessly aping Stephen King’s style. Then there was a joke about how the events were like something out of a Stephen King novel and I gave the author credit for being self-aware and having a sense of humor about what they were doing.

I felt pretty stupid when I found out the truth.
