About This Item
Toronto, ON, Canada: Penguin Books Canada, Limited, 1989. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ISBN:067082982x. When Thad Beaumont wakes to the nightmare of George Stark, he hears birds, thousands of them, all cheeping and twitter ing at the same time, and with the sound comes a presentiment full of memory and foreboding: The sparrows are flying again. Thad Beaumont is a writer, and for a dozen years he secretly published nove l s under the name of "George Stark" because he was no longer able to write under his own name. He even invented a slightly sinister author biography to satisfy the many fans of Stark's violent bests e ll ers. But Thad Beaumont is healthier and happier now so he starts writing as himself again & retires Stark. But then the brutal roadside murder of Homer happens and Homer's pick-up truck has the p er pet rators bloody fingerprints all over it. Thye match Thad Beaumont's exactly! At the center of the nightmare is the devastating figure of George Stark, Thad Beaumont's dark half - impossibly al iv e a nd r elentessly on the loose - a killing machine that destroys everyone on the path that leads to the man who created him. As Stark approaches, as Thad and Liz contend with the escalating horr o r a nd i mplac able threat of his existence and Thad reaches deep inside his own mind to mount a defense, forces gather in the air above Castle Lake, outriders of the dead to the land of the living . To who m do they belong? Here is The Dark Half, a tale of terror so real and fascinating that Stephen King's growing legion of fans will find themselves squirming in the master's heart-stopping, blo od -c urdli ng gr ip - and loving every minute of it..
