The Dark Half – Stephen King – First Edition First Printing 1989 Viking Hardcover w/DJ
A cornerstone of Stephen King’s late-1980s psychological horror, The Dark Half explores the terrifying idea that an author’s alter ego may refuse to stay buried.
This copy is a true First Edition, First Printing (1989) published by Viking Penguin. The novel follows Thad Beaumont, a successful writer who publicly “kills” his violent pseudonym—only to discover that the darker half has taken on a life of its own. Dark, unsettling, and deeply introspective, this novel remains one of King’s most chilling examinations of identity and obsession.
An excellent collectible example of a classic Stephen King hardcover, ideal for both readers and serious King collectors.
