And now Thad would like to say he is innocent. He’d like to say he has nothing to do with the twisted imagination that produced his bestselling novels. He’d like to say he has nothing to do with the series of monstrous murders that keep coming closer to his home. But how can Thad deny the ultimate embodiment of evil that goes by the name he gave it—and signs its crimes with Thad’s bloody fingerprints?
The Dark Half is “a chiller” (The New York Times Book Review), so real and fascinating that you’ll find yourself squirming in Stephen King’s heart-stopping, blood-curdling grip—and loving every minute of it. source: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Dark-Half/Stephen-King/9781508216964
I found this enjoyable and compelling. The characters were believable and realistic (at least the ones that were supposed to be), and the tension flowed nicely along throughout the story. Good mix of horror and thriller. I loved the usage of the sparrows, not an animal you'd usually associate with supernatural events. If you like Stephen King's brand of horror, I can recommend this one.
