Does Bag Of Bones Hint At A Bachman Return?
Speculation has been buzzing for a while now that Richard Bachman might have left more manuscripts behind.
We all know that Bachman made an appearance in the Bag Of Bones photo releases. Just check out those book shelves.
Tonight, in episode 1 of Bag Of Bones, Mike Noonan is told, "There's even talk of a newly discovered Bachman book."
Kevin Quigley at Charnel House said back in November, "For those of you who thought Bachman's posthumous novels had dried up with Blaze, worry not! It looks like the old dairy farmer still has some afterlife in him yet."
Quigley quoted King as saying: "I would like to write a Bachman novel that had some of that Charles Willeford feel. The dark side of American life ... I would like to start a book about a crazy private eye, a guy who is really on the dark side. I see the scene: this guy sitting in his office in an unnamed American city, the sky grey, the rain grey and hitting the window. That is it ... But I know the rest of it would follow pretty nicely with that hard-boiled voice like Raymond Chandler. Think of Philip Marlowe, only a total fucking degenerate.” (Charnel House)
I also liked Jo Noonan's comment, "have fun with Annie Wilkes" when the guy announced he was his number one fan.
