How Stephen King Was Outed as Richard Bachman

• HenryTheHorse 9y ago
  It took an obsessive nerd to actually go to the Library of Congress to research the novel's copyright information (the Pre-Internet Age's equivalent of looking up domain registry information?). Rather smart and perceptive of him, but I am not sure doxxing "Richard Bachman" was a good move. This happened recently to writer "Elena Ferrante" as well.

  "This is what Stephen King would write like if Stephen King could really write." Heh.
