The Dark Half by Stephen King

Description

“The Dark Half” tells the story of Thad Beaumont, a successful author who, under the pseudonym George Stark, writes violent crime novels. When Thad decides to “bury” George Stark and focus on more literary works under his own name, he stages a mock burial. However, things take a dark turn when a physical manifestation of George Stark comes to life, seeking revenge for being discarded.

As Stark wreaks havoc and commits crimes, Thad finds himself in the middle of a nightmare. The novel explores themes of duality, identity, and the consequences of one’s actions. Thad must confront the darker aspects of his own psyche and find a way to put an end to the malevolent force that has emerged from his pseudonymous alter ego.
