~ Trade Paperback, Media Tie-In Cover
Ray Garraty is about to compete in the annual grueling match of stamina and wits known as The Long Walk where one hundred boys must keep a steady pace of four miles per hour without ever stopping, the winner is the last one standing. The rules are simple: 1) Contestants cannot receive any outside aid whatsoever, 2) Slow down under the speed limit and you're given a warning, and 3) Receive three warnings and you are out of the game permanently . . .
Intense and harrowing, The Long Walk is scary, threatening, and unsettling; no one does terror quite like Stephen King!
"A psychologically dark tale with commentary on society, teenage life, and cultural entertainment, The Long Walk is still poignant decades after its original publication” --Publishers Weekly
