[net.books] Richard Bach and Stepehn King the same??

bradley@im4u.UUCP (07/19/85)

I heard a rumor yesterday that Richard Bach (Jonathan Livingston Seagull,
Illusions, etc.) and Stephen King (various horror books/movies) are really
two names for the same person.  Considering how different the books written
by these two authors (author?) are, this is a fairly incredible claim, yet 
the source of the rumor claims to have heard about it from several sources, 
including a well-respected weekly news magazine.  Can anybody confirm or 
deny this?


Dis-Illusioned,

Not exactly right -- King has written a couple of books as Richard /Bachman\
haven't read any of them, but apparently they are pretty much the same fare
as his 'own' books -- horror/fantasy/etc.
