Als es in seiner Umgebung zu mysteriösen Mordfällen kommt, finden sich an den Tatorten Beaumonts Fingerabdrücke. Der verwirrte Autor kann zwar zwar Alibis vorweisen, doch die Kette der Verbrechen reißt nicht ab. Es stellt sich heraus, daß sein Pseudonym Eigenleben entwickelt und die Horrorphantasien seines Schöpfers in reale Taten umsetzt.
Thad Beaumont is the author of a highly successful series of violent pulp thrillers written under the pseudonym of ‘George Stark’, but when he decides to ‘kill-off’ his alter-ego in a mock ceremony, it precipitates a string of sadistic murders matching those in his pulp novels, which are soon discovered to be the work of Stark himself. Looking like a maniacal version of his counterpart, Stark is not so willing to quit the writing game – even if it means coming after Thad's wife and their baby.
