Claudia Bachman’s First Contribution

Posted: October 31, 2025, 22:02

Forbes has an exclusive of Claudia Bachman’s first contribution to The End Times

When asked what byline he’d like to use for the paper, King suggested Claudia Inez Bachman, the wife of Richard Bachman, to whom the apocryphal writer dedicated Thinner.

“It opened up many, many more imaginative doors for me,” Percy said. “Because now The End Times was shouldering up to King’s universe. I'm grinning like an idiot just thinking about it. I've been a constant reader my whole life, so to be able to join forces with my hero is beyond belief.”

Some Thoughts On The End Times

Posted: October 28, 2025, 16:05

Here are some thoughts aobut The End Times. The first issue will be released the week of November 18 and the second in mid-December so there are still time to get your subscription.

The End Times is a very interesting thing. Not your normal book or short story and I really like it. You can decide for yourself if you want to read one issue a month digitally or buy the entire thing as a physical copy once all issues are out. The paper will run for one year, and what happens after that we don’t know. Maybe the world is no more by then, or, if we are lucky, it’ll be a continuing thing. Either way, make sure you get this. You do NOT want to be left out!

There are still physical editions left but get them fast, no way of telling how long they will last. Get the physical edition here.

If you rather get a digital edition you can get that here.

King Writing For The End Of Times

Posted: July 17, 2025, 12:12

Benjamin Percy new project is called The End Times and is the name of a post-apocalyptic newspaper and written as such. A new edition will be released every month starting this November.

The editor-in-chief of The End Times is a woman who stumbles across a printing press a decade after a virus killed all but a tiny sliver of humanity and decides that survivors still need the news.

She starts posting the newspaper in the central square and then it gains more and more popularity and it starts to become a situation that I describe as a blend of Station Eleven and Our Town as different people’s voices start to fill the paper.

One of those voices will be written by King.

I’m not going to give too much away, but let’s just say some of what I already have in my inbox involves scarecrows with large button eyes and dead rats and bodies dangling from the rafters of barns. You know, the Stephen King special.

King will not be writing under his own name, but as a fictional character living in this post-apocalyptic world. Percy slyly hinted that we might be seeing some “Bachman in the byline” for King’s contributions.

Two versions of The End Times were made available to pre-order by Bad Hand Books. One is an actual, physical newspaper printing that would be delivered to your mailbox once a month (limited run of 500 already sold) out, but the digital version can be pre-ordered for $15.
