The Dark Half

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Grover Gardner

“A chiller” (The New York Times Book Review) and #1 New York Times bestseller horror about a writer’s horrific and haunting pseudonym that destroys everyone on the path, leading to the man who created him—in this psychological horror novel by Stephen King.

After thirteen years of international bestseller stardom with his works of violent crime fiction, George Stark is officially declared dead, revealed by a national magazine to have been killed at the hands of the man who created him: the once well-regarded but now obscure writer Thad Beaumont. Thad’s even gone so far as to stage a mock burial of his wildly successful pseudonym, complete with tombstone and the epitaph “Not a Very Nice Guy.” Although on the surface, it seems that Thad can finally concentrate on his own novels, there’s a certain unease at the prospect of leaving his alter ego behind.

But that’s nothing compared to the horror about to descend upon Thad’s new life. There are the vicious, out-of-control nightmares, for starters. And how is he able to explain the fact that everyone connected to George Stark’s untimely demise is now meeting a brutal end of their own in a pattern of homicidal savagery…and why each blood-soaked crime scene has Thad’s fingerprints all over it?

Thad Beaumont may have once believed that George Stark was running out of things to say, but he’s going to find out just how wrong he is…

awesome

another great by SK. I had read this as a kid, but just listened to it sens it was even better!

Top 5

I have around 26 or so SK titles under my belt and I didn’t want to pull the trigger on a shorter book. I have a hour drive to work. I have had my eye on the book for a long time and finally gave. This book is definitely in my top 5 along with Salems Lot. Look forward to venturing back around to it in the future.
