Everything about The Bachman Books totally explained
The Bachman Books is a collection of
novels by
Stephen King under the
pseudonym Richard Bachman.
The book was published by King in
1985 in order to introduce Bachman's work to fans who didn't know about his pseudonym's work and wanted to be able to get copies of them (few of Bachman's early novels were still in circulation at the time). It opens with an introduction by King called "Why I Was Bachman", explaining how and why he took on the persona of Bachman, as well as how it was found out by the public. Another version with a new introduction to coincide
The Regulators with the title "The Importance of Being Bachman" was published in 1996.
