Stephen King The Person Behind Richard Bachman
Born in Portland, Maine, U.S. on 21st September 1947; Stephen King is known for his work in horror, supernatural fiction, Suspense, Crime, Science-fiction, and Fantasy Novels. Stephen King is often referred to as the ” King Of Horror”. About 350 million copies of Stephen King’s Books are sold all over the world.
Many of the books are adapted into films, television series, miniseries, and, comic books. The pen name of Stephen King is Richard Bachman. Stephen King first adopted this pen name in 1977 when his “Rage ” Novel was published.
Stephen King had to adopt this pen name because of a certain view among the then Publisher’s Society of America. An author was limited to one book per year, so Stephen King wouldn’t have the chance to publish a second book in a single year.
So, finding no other options, Stephen King adopted his pen name as Richard Bachman until 1985. The Link between Stephen King and Richard Bachman was unknown at that time.
