1st Warner paperback fine

The good times for writer Christopher Ward are over. Struggling to complete his latest novel, he finds himself sucked into a vicious spiral: the further into the book he gets, the harder it becomes; the harder it becomes, the quicker he slides towards depression and alcoholism. Then the incidents begin. How is it that he rarely works and yet, day after day, he finds whole chapters of his novel completed? And what of the things he sees at night? Are they dreams or apparitions? Alone in his house, and within the decaying confines of his own mind, Ward is pushed to the very edge of sanity. As a writer, Ward has always explored the darker side of the human mind. Now it's time for him to experience the darkness for real. For when the final revelations begin, Ward discovers a truth more terrifying than anything dredged from the most twisted imagination...
