Episode 67-The Bachman Books

In this week's episode, the Stephen Kingcast makes room for the Richard Bachmancast as I examine the 1985 collection of Richard Bachman's previously published works. As I've done with reviews of other collected works such as Night Shift, Skeleton Crew and Different Seasons, I won't review all of the stories included, and will focus on what I consider the Big Two: The Long Walk and The Running Man. How do the Richard Bachman entries differ from Stephen King's works? Find out this week in the Richard Bachmancast!
