In Stephen King’s collection of stories Full Dark, No Stars, there is a short story that perfectly characterizes him as a novelist who can create not only suspense, but horror that causes the reader to question his sanity. In A Good Marriage, Darcy has been married to Bob for 27 years. It is after this short introduction that King begins the suspense when Bob goes away on business trip and Darcy not only finds Fifty-Shades-type-of-magazine in her husband’s pristine garage, but she finds the ID of a murdered woman who is linked to other serial killings. Although King does not outwardly say that Bob was the murderer, he slowly reveals more information not only about Bob, but Darcy. When Darcy is unable to hide her anxiety from her husband, Bob nonchalantly admits that he it was his alter ego who was responsible for all those murderers. It is because of how nonchalantly this information is revealed and how well Darcy takes this that makes this horrifying; these circumstances would result in much more dramatic responses. As if this isn't horrifying enough, Darcy herself becomes a murderer by the end of the story by killing her husband after pushing him down the stair and suffocating him. She is able to make this look like a drunken accident, and gets away with murder. Following this, the detective lets Darcy know that he knows what actually happened, and that he always suspected Bob as the culprit of the serial killings. What’s even more horrifying is that he tells Darcy that she was right for killing Bob. Stephen King creates this horrifying aspect because of these unreasonable responses to these graphic and violent actions. He also uses psychological thrill as a way to entice the reader.
