Home > Richard Bachman

By the time of Bachman's "death" (supposedly from "cancer of the pseudonym"), King was working on Misery which he had planned to release as a Bachman book.

In the mid- 1990s, The Regulators came out, with the publishers claiming it was found among Bachman's leftover papers by his widow. It is obvious from the book that it was really written by King. There is a picture of a young King on the inside back cover. King has said that there may be another Bachman novel left to be "found".

There have been numerous biographies of the "late Richard Bachman" telling of a complete life separate to that of King, leading some to believe that the name was not a pseudonym for King.
