I often consider Mental Floss to be smarter-than-average clickbait, as much as I like knowing what the most popular hashtag is in each state, but this recent article is quite relevant to what I'm doing here. It just so happens we will be going "back to Bachman" soon, with his second book, The Long Walk. As previously noted here, one of the needs for the Bachman pseudonym was to get around publisher hesitations to publish more than one book a year by the same author. Nowadays, King is one of the few exceptions to the rule, but it took him some time to work up to that level of prestige. Hence, with this blog in the relatively early phase of King's career, there's a lot of Bachman titles coming up.
