The book I am reading is
The Dark Half by Stephen King. My book is fiction and has one main character named Thad Beaumont or his pseudonym George Stark. This book has been focused for the most part on an article about George Stark, who is Thad's pseudonym. This article is in People magazine and is titles, "George Stark, Not a Very Nice Guy". Thad is very taken by this and ends up having several mixed emotions about the article. Him and his wife have two kids who are twins. Thad decides that he has to get everything straightened out and let people know who the real man behind George Stark is and how they are not similar at all. George is described as Thad's dark side or the side that writes on rainy days. One night Thad's wife wakes up and he is not in bed and she does not hear the type writer which worries her, she decides to go see if he is up and finds him writing vigorously only inches from the page. He is working on his new book with a new name for George Stark is now dead and gone, never to be seen again. So we think.
