The Long Walk

In this #1 national bestseller, â€œmaster storytellerâ€ (Houston Chronicle) Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman, tells the tale of the contestants of a grueling walking competition where there can only be one winnerâ€”the one that survives.

In the near future, when America has become a police state, one hundred boys are selected to enter an annual contest where the winner will be awarded whatever he wants for the rest of his life. Among them is sixteen-year-old Ray Garraty, and he knows the rulesâ€”keep a steady walking pace of four miles per hour without stopping. Three warnings and youâ€™re outâ€”permanently.

A â€œpsychologically dark tale with commentary on society, teenage life, and cultural entertainment, The Long Walk is still poignant decades after its original publicationâ€ (Publishers Weekly). This edition features an introduction by Stephen King on â€œThe Importance of Being Bachman.â€
