Richard Bachman
Richard Bachman is a
pen name (as well as a fictional character) of American
horror fiction author
Stephen King, adopted in 1977 for the novel ''
Rage''. King hid the link between himself and Bachman, until allowing for his identification in 1985. He collected the first four Bachman novels into ''
The Bachman Books''. ''Rage'' became controversial for being about a school shooting and was allowed to go out of print after the
1997 Heath High School shooting. In total, seven novels have been published under the Bachman name.
King portrays a character named Richard Bachman in the
third season of the
FX television series ''
Sons of Anarchy'' (2010).
