Every Stephen King Novel Ranked Worst To Best

4. The Long Walk

The Long Walk
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.

I get to write about what I love, which is cool. You'll typically find me in front of a TV, or hunkered down behind a book, or dreaming of things far away. Be good to each other. Find my other writings here: https://allthethingsineversaid.substack.com/
