Richard Bach and Stepehn King the same??

[bra...@im4u.uucp]

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.

No, no, no. Richard BACHMAN is the alias used by Stephen King in
three of his books, the most recently published being Thinner.
Bachman is actually a friend of King's, and the picture on the back
of the book is indeed the real Bachman. Richard BACH is someone
else entirely.
