Every Stephen King Novel Ranked Worst To Best

Rage was the first novel that Stephen King ever wrote, though it was released after Carrie and published under his pen name Richard Bachman. The story of a teenager who murders his teachers and takes his class hostage, the novel is no longer in print, with King opting to remove it from circulation due to its controversial themes. These days, it can be quite tough to get through (if you can get your hands on a copy).

Despite this, Rage is still a thrilling, disturbing book, showcasing an author not yet at the height of his powers but destined to be something really special.
