The Dark Half

After thirteen years of international bestseller fame for his violent crime fiction, George Stark is officially declared dead, revealed to have been killed by his own creator, the once-respected but now obscure writer Thad Beaumont, who even staged a mock burial of his pseudonym with a tombstone reading “Not a Very Nice Guy.” While on the surface Thad seems free to focus on his own novels, unease lingers at leaving Stark behind, and soon a far greater horror unfolds: uncontrollable, violent nightmares and a series of brutal murders among those connected to Stark’s demise, each crime scene bearing Thad’s fingerprints. Thad believed George Stark had run out of stories to tell—but he is about to find out just how wrong he was.
