The Dark Half by Stephen King. Mainly revolves around an author and recovering alcoholic, Thad Beaumont, whose works isn't really that popular but rather successful under the pen name George Stark who writes crime novels about a killer named Alexis Machine. When the public founds out that Beaumont and Stark is one of the same, Beaumont and his wife staged a daylight funeral for Stark. However, as the story continues Stark "raises" from the dead and kills everyone who he thinks is responsible for his "death", while Beaumont is haunted by Stark in his nightmares.

I really love this book because of all the Stephen King books I've read, this one really stood out for me. Personally, I have passion for the horror/suspense genre and King made sure he captured that in his novel. Although the book has also been made into a movie, it really didn't do the piece any justice. I love reading and reading this piece made it more enjoyable and worthwhile. Its one of those books you wouldn't put down until you've finished.

I've been reading King's works since 6th grade but I read this during sophomore year.

I would really recommend this to everyone who enjoys light reading. It may not be your cup of tea, but it would certainly keep you entertained.
