With Blaze back on the shelf, the Losers have finished their Richard Bachman run. To cap it off, they do what any self-respecting Constant Reader would do: argue and rank all seven of his novels. To recap, that includes: 1977’s Rage, 1979’s The Long Walk, 1981’s Roadwork, 1982’s The Running Man, 1984’s Thinner, 1996’s The Regulators, and 2007’s Blaze.
“Wait, fellas, who is this Richard Bachman,” you say? Hey, it’s a fair question, and for those in the dark, Bachman is the late pseudonym for world renown author Stephen King. Still lost? Good news: We’ve got an exhaustive primer episode on King’s alter ego that offers an A-to-Z account of the fictional author. You can get it now in The Barrens (Patreon).
Stream the ranking below and return next week when the Losers unlock their interview with American author and feminist essayist Meg Ellison. For further adventures, join the Club over long days and pleasant nights via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. And again, you can get even more content in The Barrens (Patreon).
