A dystopian classic from the master of horror and suspense.
In a totalitarian future, the annual event known as The Long Walk is the nation’s most brutal sport. One hundred teenage boys must walk a set route without stopping — at a constant pace of at least 4 miles per hour. Falling below the speed earns you a warning. Three warnings… and you're eliminated.
Only one walker will survive. Only one will win whatever he wants for the rest of his life.
Sixteen-year-old Ray Garraty is one of this year’s competitors. To win, he’ll need more than strength — he’ll need the will to outlast death itself.
A psychological and physical nightmare, The Long Walk is one of King’s earliest and most haunting explorations of endurance, fear, and the dark side of human nature.
