GoodReads Description: "Thad Beaumont would like to say he is innocent. 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 disown the ultimate embodiment of evil that goes by the name he gave it-and signs its crimes with Thad's bloody fingerprints?"

My Review: I pretty much love when Stephen King writes books about authors.  He does it a lot and I never do get tired of it!  Stephen King based this book on his good buddy Richard Bachman.  

So this book is about author Thad Beaumont, who is newly successful in the literary fiction arena.  He had previously found success under a pen name of George Stark, writing slasher books. But he is a college professor and a literary fiction author and he doesn't want that trash tied to his new prestigious name.  So he decides to put George Stark to death - only problem is George Stark doesn't want to be put down and George Stark is not a nice guy...

Lots of good fun here for fans of Mr. King!  Read it! 5 Stars!
