Title: Bachman -- King in overdrive
Product review: Richard Bachman was a much more concise writer than Stephen King, an that's a good thing. The four "Bachman Books" read like the superb King novella collection "Four Past Midnight." "The Running Man," not to be confused with the campy over-the-top sci-fi movie it became and which it bears little resemblance to, is chilling. As are the "The Rage" (precurser of Columbine High School?) and "The Long Walk," which is a King horror story at its most basic. "Roadwork," is not quite as good as the rest, but it is still worth a read. Overall, this is one of King's best collections of stories. Thank you, Mr. Bachman.
