The experiment doesn’t stop at the simple simultaneous release of two books. In 1996, he simultaneously released two novels: One under his name, and the other one as his pseudonymous alter-ego, Richard Bachman (also known as the author of Thinner and The Running Man, among others)
He agreed to publish The Green Mile in six small instalments, like the serial novels of yore.
To promote Insomnia in 1994, he travelled through the United States on a motorcycle to do signing in independent bookstores. These risks don’t stop at what he write, but also extends at how they’re published. While lesser authors might have comfortably rested on their laurels, releasing formula novels every year or so, King is a genuine writer who’s not afraid to take risks. Springing to national fame after two unusually successful movies adapted from his novels (Brian DePalma’s CARRIE and Stanley Kubrick’s THE SHINING), he has reigned over the bestseller lists for more than two decades.
