La Part des ténèbres
Tu croyais pouvoir te débarrasser de moi. Tu pensais que avec un enterrement bidon pour mes fans et pour la presse, tout serait réglé. Tu te disais : « Ce n'est qu'un pseudonyme, il n'existe même pas. » Tu te disais : « Fini George Stark, maintenant consacrons-nous à la vraie littérature... » Pauvre naïf ! Ça a dû te faire un choc quand tu as vu la fausse tombe grande ouverte, hein ? Et cette série de meurtres abominables ? Exactement comme dans nos romans ! Sauf que, cette fois c'est réel, bien réel. Non, ne t'imagine pas que tu vas pouvoir te débarrasser si facilement de moi. Je suis ton double, ta part de ténèbres... Et j'aurai ta peau !

About the author
Stephen King
2,400 books888k followersStephen Edwin King was born the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. After his father left them when Stephen was two, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Her parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of them. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support. After Stephen's grandparents passed away, Mrs. King found work in the kitchens of Pineland, a nearby residential facility for the mentally challenged.
Stephen attended the grammar school in Durham and Lisbon Falls High School, graduating in 1966. From his sophomore year at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, THE MAINE CAMPUS. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of the Student Senate. He came to support the anti-war movement on the Orono campus, arriving at his stance from a conservative view that the war in Vietnam was unconstitutional. He graduated in 1970, with a B.A. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level. A draft board examination immediately post-graduation found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums.
He met Tabitha Spruce in the stacks of the Fogler Library at the University, where they both worked as students; they married in January of 1971. As Stephen was unable to find placement as a teacher immediately, the Kings lived on his earnings as a laborer at an industrial laundry, and her student loan and savings, with an occasional boost from a short story sale to men's magazines.
Stephen made his first professional short story sale ("The Glass Floor") to Startling Mystery Stories in 1967. Throughout the early years of his marriage, he continued to sell stories to men's magazines. Many were gathered into the Night Shift collection or appeared in other anthologies.
In the fall of 1971, Stephen began teaching English at Hampden Academy, the public high school in Hampden, Maine. Writing in the evenings and on the weekends, he continued to produce short stories and to work on novels.

J'ai trouver l'histoire très accrocheuse, le début nous mais directement dans le bain de l'étrange et le malsain.
Thad et Stark son vraiment des personnage dont on prend du plaisirs à connaître !
Pour les autres personnage comme l'inspecteur et la femme du héro rien a dire ce sont des personnage simple je les aime bien mais sans plus. J'ai vraiment aimer les rebondissements, et la fin qui ne ma pas déçu ! Mon personnage préféré reste tout de même Stark on le croie complètement fou mais plus on lis et plus on decouvre qu'il ne les pas totalement.
Y a quand même quelque passage assez lent où certain personnage et l'enquête tourne en rond. Comme je les déjà dit plus haut certain personnage son "basique" la douce femme du héro, belle et gentille, des policiers assez "empoté" ect...mais chacun à tout de même un rôle important.

Je terminé cette course folle hier soir, en terminant de suer les quelques litres de sueur qu'il me restait. Une histoire tenace, haletante, dérangeante. Une des fins les plus intenses que j'ai eu le plaisir de lire. Un King de fou dans mon top 5 de maître. J'ai capoté, j'ai peu de mots tellement il est prenant. Malade !
