Description
In a grim, totalitarian future, 100 teenage boys embark on a grueling annual competition known as "The Long Walk." The rules are simple yet brutal: walk at a steady pace, never stop, and never fall below a certain speed, or you're out. The last boy standing wins the ultimate prize: anything he wants for the rest of his life. This harrowing tale explores themes of endurance, sacrifice, and the chilling nature of absolute power, all rendered in Stephen King's signature suspenseful style under his pseudonym Richard Bachman.
