Stephen King Is Richard Bachman
Stephen King Is Richard Bachman | Stephen King, Michael R. Collings
3 posts
This is the whole story of how Stephen King's Richard Bachman came to life, and when King finally had to "give up the ghost" and come forth with the truth - that he was writing under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman. This of course came about when the fifth novel, "Thinner," was released and a reader discovered King's pseudonym. Now Michael Collings takes us from the beginnings of this unusual fiction side show of Stephen King's body of work, to what we understand will be the last Bachman release, "The Regulators." Or will it? Updated and completely revised with new information and Richard Bachman releases since it's original publication almost 20 years ago. Chapters Featured: A History for Richard Bachman; Genre, Theme, and Image in Richard Bachman; Rage ; The Long Walk ; Roadwork ; The Running Man ; Thinner ; Regulators and Desperation ; Pipe-Dreams and Possibilities.

B is for Bachman

I found it interesting when I discovered that King had published four novels under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. He explains that “[he] did that because back in the early days of [his] career there was a feeling in the publishing business that one book a year was all the public would accept.” #KingAtoZ

RohitSawant Great pick! 6y
AndreaReads @rohit-sawant Thank you!!! I was trying to find one that hadn‘t been taken (at least as far as I could tell). 6y
GarthRanzz Bachman is a great choice for B! And one of my favourite all-time King stories is a Bachman; The Long Walk. Thanks for participating Andrea! 6y
AndreaReads @GarthRanzz Thank you for hosting! I was afraid I didn‘t know enough about King to be able to participate the whole month (I‘ve only read four of his books), but it was fun seeing everyone‘s responses yesterday, so I had to jump in! 6y
GarthRanzz I‘m glad you did! 😊 6y

Today's #stephenking17 challenge is to #ShareYourCollection. I did the best I could with just one photo! Most of my SK books are on two bookcases (I've just collaged them tgthr here!) and I love seeing them when I walk in the room. My collection is a mix of thrift store hardcovers, first editions, special editions, & paperbacks, amongst others! What's not pictured could fill another two shelves! 😬😂 It's an addiction. I know. 😏 #day21
