The name on the covers was Bachman. But the imagination could only belong to one man: Stephen King.

This classic highly-acclaimed BACHMAN title will be relaunched as part of the exciting King reissue programme 2021-2024.

The iconic, highly-acclaimed bestseller from Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman - now with a stunning new cover look.

Wentworth, Ohio: a small friendly town where the Carver children bicker over sweets in the E-Z shop and writer Johnny Marinville is the only resident who minds his own business.

On Poplar Street, apart from the impending storm, it's just a normal summer's day - with Frisbees flying, lawn mowers humming and barbeques grilling. As the paperboy makes his round, he is unaware of the chrome red van idling up the hill . . .

Soon the residents will be caught up in a game of wills as the regulators arrive in force to face a child whose powers of expression are just awakening.

If you like THE REGULATORS, don't miss DESPERATION, written as an unidentical pair.
