I am a Stephen King fan and this is actually one of my favorite books. The story is about a writer who writes under a pseudonym and ends up needing to put it to death. The thing is that pseudonym doesn't want to die.

I think why I felt so intrigued by this book was because I couldn't help but wonder how much of this story is how Stephen King feels . . . that he has a dark half. Is his dark half the one who writes his books? And would he be Stephen King the great horror book...
