I voted Blaze because it's the freshest in my memory, having recently read it over again. I liked them all though, but If I had to choose a least favorite it would likely be The Running Man, if for no other reason than I could never read it and judge it on it's own merits, having seen the movie first, and thanks to my stepfather, who loved it, multiple times growing up. No matter how many times I tried to get into it, I just can't shake the image of Arnold wrestling around with Pro Wrestlers lol

Wasn't Misery supposed to have been a 'Bachman' book? I mean before it was announced that SK actually was Bachman? Oh well, I'll have to go with The Long Walk then....
The link between King and his shadow writer was exposed after a Washington, D.C. bookstore clerk, Steve Brown, noted similarities between the writing styles of King and Bachman. Brown located publisher's records at the Library of Congress which included a document naming King as the author of one of Bachman's novels.

Brown wrote to King's publishers with a copy of the documents he had uncovered, and asked them what to do. Two weeks later, King telephoned Brown personally and suggested he write an article about how he discovered the truth, allowing himself to be interviewed.[2]

This led to a press release heralding Bachman's "death" — supposedly from "cancer of the pseudonym", and an article written by Brown in the Washington Post.[3] At the time of the announcement in 1985, King was working on Misery, which he had planned to release as a Bachman book.

You are a sharp one kingricefan! You know your SK trivia that's for sure :encouragement:

'Asked them what to do.' I thought the guy tried to blackmail King?
