Richard Bachman is a pen name for Stephen King, considered by many to be the master of the horror genre.
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.
There have been numerous biographies of the "late Richard Bachman" telling of a complete life separate to that of King, leading some at the time to believe that the name was not a pseudonym for King.

Richard Bachman, AVAR’s shelter medicine consultant, and Michael Bannasch, a registered veterinary technician who is coordinator for the Shelter Medicine Program at UC Davis, spent approximately 10 days with the Visakha SPCA in Visakhaptnam, with the goal of improving shelter protocols and upgrading shelter equipment.
Bachman said he was impressed with the willingness of the Visakha SPCA staff to adapt to new protocols to provide better care for the animals.
Bachman said the mission also had to take into account cultural differences, including the fact that the Visakha SPCA (and most animal shelters in India) will only euthanize animals under very extreme conditions.

Stephen King has brought back his pseudonym Richard Bachman, originally kiboshed when a King fan discovered Bachman's true identity; Bachman's novel concerns the small town of Wentworth, which is invaded by five vans, the first of which perpetrates a drive-by shooting that upsets the natural order of things and begins the story.
The novel is a companion piece to "Desperation", which is written under the name Stephen King and which involves many of the same characters in the same sort of setting, but exhibits an entirely different flavor than "The Regulators".
Although the action is fierce and Bachman's imagination proves boundless, the hopelessness of his characters' predicament makes it a bleak and tiresome reading experience." Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company.

Stephen King uses the alias Richard Bachman in case you never knew that.
I enjoyed The Shining and Carrie, but the one I liked most was Dance Macabre - about why he wrote what he wrote and how he felt about horror writers and the genre in general.
If I had to pick just one, I think it would be Bachman's "The Long Walk" (not listed here) but so many of the other shorter works are great.

Add to that the show's hunters, who will be in hot pursuit as well, and it is no wonder that no one has every survived the one month necessary to "win" the game.
Then again, I am not sure if King is amazing prescient, or if this is simply a reminder of how close King has his finger on the popular pulse as he went thorugh his remarkable run as a successful novelist.

To me the Bachman books have a certain visceralness and punch to them that is different from King's other books.
There are usually few characters in the Bachman books whereas King usually has a community -- which I like but the effect is different (The Long Walk obviously had a bunch of characters).
05-10-2002 01:42 PM The general difference, to me, between the two works is that the Bachman books are fairly hopeless, whereas King's books tend to have a glimmer of good victorious over evil (with the exception of Pet Sematary, a book intended to be a Bachman book anyway...)
