Description
Soon to be a major motion picture coming September 2025
In this powerful novel from master storyteller Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman, the tale of the contestants of a gruelling walking competition is unveiled, where there can only be one winner—the one that survives.
In a dystopian near-future, America has fallen on hard times. Sixteen-year-old Ray Garraty is about to compete in the annual match of stamina and wits known as the Long Walk.
One hundred boys must keep a steady pace of four miles per hour, day and night, without ever stopping. The winner gets 'The Prize'—anything he wants for the rest of his life. But the rules of the Long Walk are harsh, and the stakes could not be higher. There is no finish line—the winner is the last man standing. Contestants cannot receive any outside aid whatsoever. Slow down under the speed limit, and you're given a warning. Three warnings and you're out of the game—forever.

About the Author
STEPHEN KING is the author of more than seventy books, all of them worldwide bestsellers.
During the years 1966-1973, just before he published the seminal masterpiece Carrie, Stephen King wrote under two names. Under his pseudonym Richard Bachman, King wrote horror stories for magazines, followed by a series of novels, first published in the early 80s in the collection The Bachman Books. It was on publication of his next novel Thinner that people realised the author was in fact Stephen King.King's recent bestsellers include Holly, You Like It Darker and Never Flinch. Many of his titles are the basis for major motion pictures, TV series and streamed events, including IT, The Institute, The Life of Chuck and The Shawshank Redemption, which is IMDb's top-rated movie of all time.King is the recipient of The Sunday Times Award for Literary Excellence 2022, the 2020 Audio Publishers Association Lifetime Achievement Award, the 2018 PEN America Literary Service Award, the 2014 National Medal of Arts, and the 2003 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lives in Maine, with his wife, novelist Tabitha King.Also by Richard Bachman
