”The Dark Half” is a horror book
written by Stephen King under his pseudonym, Richard Bachman. Most
of the Bachman novels were darker and more cynical in nature,
featuring a far more visceral sense of horror than the
psychological, gothic style common to many of King's most famous
works. When King was discovered to be Bachman, he wrote The Dark
Half in response to his outing.

A = The publication date for ”The
Dark Half” was November 1, 198(A).

C = Timothy (C) (First Letter of Last
name converted to a Number) played Thad Beaumont and George Stark
in the film adaptation of ”The Dark
Half”.
W 121° 13.DEF
D = The film adaptation of ”The Dark
Half” was released on (D) 20, 1993.
E = The ISBN # for ”The Dark Half” is
978-0(E)70829828.
F = An unusual feature of the novel was the appearance of
characters Rawlie and Billie DeLesseps, who had previously appeared
only in a rarely printed short story which is far better known on
film, "The Crate". Thad's co-worker Rawlie was the main character
in the Creepshow segment, and in The Dark Half, they are described
to look exactly like actors Hal Holbrook and Adrienne Barbeau, the
actors who portrayed the characters in that segment. Oddly, the
events of The Dark Half's late 19(F)0s setting clearly
postdate the events in "The Crate"'s late 1970s setting.
