Description

The Long Walk by Stephen King is a chilling tale of survival and endurance. In a dystopian near-future, 100 boys are forced to participate in the annual grueling match of stamina and wits known as the Long Walk. Contestants must keep a steady pace of four miles per hour day and night, without ever stopping, with the winner getting "The Prize" - anything they want for the rest of their life. The rules of the Long Walk are harsh, with contestants facing severe penalties if they slow down under the speed limit or receive outside aid. With no finish line in sight, the stakes could not be higher. The last man standing will claim the ultimate prize, but at what cost? Written by Stephen King when he was a college student and published in 1979 under his pseudonym Richard Bachman, this unforgettable novel showcases King's genius for character building and visionary storytelling.
