Martin, who credits him with helping to launch his writing career.〔(George R.R. Martin: "Kirby" (blog post) )〕 When King decided to publish some of his new novels under the pen name Richard Bachman, McCauley provided him with a fake author picture that actually showed his own insurance agent, Richard Manuel. In 1975, McCauley chaired the first World Fantasy Convention. His works include the 1980 horror anthology ''Dark Forces'', and other anthologies such as '' Frights'', '' Frights 2'', and ''Night Chills''.
