Very Good-Inscription Please see photos as part of condition report 1989 1st Edition, DJ THE DARK HALF By Stephen King Illustrated By: N/A Format: Hardcover, Language: English Dust Jacket: Yes, Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Published By: Hodder & Stoughton, octavo (8vo 6 × 9 152 × 229), Pages 413 ISBN: 9780340509111 The Dark Half is a horror novel by American writer Stephen King, published in 1989. Publishers Weekly listed The Dark Half as the second best-selling book of 1989 behind Tom Clancy's Clear and Present Danger. The novel was adapted into a feature film of the same name in 1993. Stephen King wrote several books under a pseudonym, Richard Bachman, during the 1970s and 1980s. Most of the Bachman novels were darker and more cynical in nature, featuring a far more visceral sense of horror than the psychological, gothic style common in many of King's most famous works. When King was identified as Bachman, he wrote The Dark Half – about an author with a sinister parasitic twin – in response to his outing. The book's central villain, George Stark, was named in honor of Richard Stark, the pen name of writer Donald E. Westlake under which he wrote some of his darkest, most violent books. King telephoned Westlake personally to ask permission. King's own "Richard Bachman" pseudonym was also partly named for Stark: King had been reading a Richard Stark novel at the time he chose the pen name.

The Dark Half is a chilling and frightening book. Scary and gory, its everything that should be in a King book!! I couldn't put the book down and wanted to put the book down at the same at. I didn't want to put it down because I really wanted to see what would happen next, but I also wanted to stop reading because it was so scary! I highly recommend you read this novel if you want to be frightened, but I do not recommend that you start this novel in the middle of the night!! You won't be able to sleep!!
