Description
“The Dark Half” is a psychological horror novel by Stephen King, first published in 1989. The story revolves around Thad Beaumont, a successful author who writes literary novels under his own name and pulp fiction under the pseudonym “George Stark.” When Thad decides to retire the Stark persona and publicly “bury” him, strange and violent events begin to occur in Thad’s life.
It turns out that George Stark is more than just a pen name; he’s a manifestation of Thad’s darker side brought to life by Thad’s imagination and fueled by his repressed anger and aggression. As the line between reality and fiction blurs, Thad finds himself at the center of a terrifying battle against the embodiment of his own dark impulses.
“The Dark Half” explores themes of duality, identity, and the creative process, delving into the depths of the human psyche and the power of imagination. As with many of Stephen King’s works, the novel combines elements of horror with psychological depth, suspenseful storytelling, and rich character development.
