Every Stephen King Novel Ranked Worst To Best

4. The Long Walk

Stephen King in It: Chapter Two
Signet Books

The greatest of the Bachman books, The Long Walk is a sci-fi thriller with the most simple premise King has ever put to paper: One hundred teenage boys are forced to take part in the Long Walk, a gruelling marathon that only ends when all but one of the contestants are dead.

Full of great characters, a thrilling narrative, and a plot as simple as it is brutal, The Long Walk is an absolute masterpiece of tension, dialogue and quality over quantity. Dystopia has never looked so good.
