The Big Picture When it comes to horror literature, genre fans have a hefty serving of classics to go off of. Stephen King has spent over half a century as one of the most popular authors on Earth. His novels, from the out-out horror fare like It, and The Shining, to the pitch-black, super-bleak titles like Pet Sematary, have become some of the late 20th Century's most popular written works.
'The Amulet' is Michael McDowell at His Best His first widely published novel, The Amulet, was released in 1979. Its story follows Sarah Howell, who looks after her disfigured husband, Dean, in a small Alabama town. Dean's mother, Jo, blames everyone in the town for her son's state, and after she lends a strange amulet to the one she deems most responsible, people around town start turning up murdered.
The 'Thinner' Movie Adaptation is Disappointing But Has a Great Screenplay Close Then, once King fans become well acclimated to McDowell's bibliography, they would be wise to dive into 1996's Thinner, a film adaptation of King's classic novel. The story follows an overweight attorney, Billy Halleck , who starts uncontrollably losing weight after an encounter with a gypsy. McDowell never dove into directing, but he regularly wrote screenplays, and this is one of his best.
