The Dark Half
# There are very good reasons to be afraid of the dark.
π Overview:
Thad Beaumont is the author of a highly successful series of violent pulp thrillers written under the pseudonym of βGeorge Starkβ, but when he decides to βkill-offβ his alter-ego in a mock ceremony, it precipitates a string of sadistic murders matching those in his pulp novels, which are soon discovered to be the work of Stark himself. Looking like a maniacal version of his counterpart, Stark is not so willing to quit the writing game β even if it means coming after Thad's wife and their baby.
