Stephen King is Richard Bachman by Michael R. Collings. This is the
whole story of how Stephen King s Richard Bachman came to life, and
when King finally had to give up the ghost and come forth with the
truth that he was writing under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman.
This of course came about when the fifth novel, Thinner, was
released and a reader discovered King s pseudonym. Now Michael
Collings takes us from the beginnings of this unusual fiction
side-show of Stephen King s body of work, to what we thought would
be the last Bachman release, The Regulators. Updated and completely
revised with new information and Richard Bachman releases since it
s original publication almost twenty-five years ago. Chapters
Featured: A History for Richard Bachman. Genre, Theme, and Image in
Richard Bachman. Rage. The Long Walk. Roadwork. The Running Man.
Thinner. Regulators... and Desperation. Pipe-Dreams and
Possibilities. Original cover art commisioned by Erik Wilson.
Profusely illustrated with covers of Bachman books from around the
world.

In The West at War, Bradley C. S. Watson brings together renowned
scholars and public policy experts to reflect on perhaps the most
pressing problem of our time-the West's increasingly bloody
conflict with forces that seek nothing less than its destruction.
In eleven provocative chapters, contributors deal with the internal
challenges and external conflicts facing Western civilization in
the context of the "war on terror." Ranging from the nature of
Islam and the West, to ethics and terror, to the western way of
warfare, the volume deals thematically with major issues raised by
this conflict in a way that no other single-volume does.
Contributors bring to bear arguments on the philosophic, political,
religious, ethical, and policy dimensions of the war. As the title
of the book suggests, this conflict implicates all of Western
civilization, demonstrating that this not merely an "American"
concern.

In Reflections on the Fantastic: Selected Essays from the Fourth
International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts, editor
Michael R. Collings has selected the best of the conference
proceedings reflecting the intent of the conference to discover
aspects of the fantastic in every branch of the arts. The twelve

relates to other genres and elements of life. The second section
examines individual authors including Peter Beagle, French
fantasists Alain Robbe-Grillet and Felix Labisse, and Spanish
authors Amado Nervo and Jose Maria Merino. The third section
discusses issues in contemporary science fiction, opening with a
look at artificial language in the work of Samuel R. Delaney. It
continues with examinations of the work of Brian W. Aldiss, and a
look at the narrative structure in works by Ursula K. Le Guin and
Frederik Pohl. The section concludes with a further discussion of
artificial language by Gregory Shreve.
