Every Stephen King Novel Ranked Worst To Best

22. The Dark Half

Following the "death" of Richard Bachman, King went away and wrote The Dark Half, a novel with a premise as simple as it is disturbing. In short, an author (King's good at writing writers) comes to realise his pseudonym has become real and is pure evil.

With its sharp detail, rich characters and painfully creepy twists and turns, The Dark Half is one of those King classics that's bound to get your heart pumping right up until the brilliant final page.
