Trivia / Roadwork

• Creator Backlash: King stated in the first printing of The Bachman Books that this was his least favorite of the bunch. He changed his mind later for the second printing, saying that it was his favorite. The fact that Rage (1977) is hugely Harsher in Hindsight may have been a factor as well.
• Creator's Oddball: Was written in between 'Salem's Lot and The Shining as an attempt to write a "straight" (that is, non-horror) novel.
