Stephen King wrote several books under a pseudonym, Richard Bachman, during the 1970s and 1980s. 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 in many of King s most famous works. When King was identified as Bachman, he wrote The Dark Half about an author in response to this public revelation of his pen name. Source for the 1993 film of the same name directed by George A. Romero, starring Timothy Hutton and Julie Harris.. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
