This book. Easily one of my favorite Stephen King stories, and a book that sticks with me for a long time after I read it, every time. He mostly leaves off the shock-and gore in favor of characterization and building tension and dread. The bleak, dark portrayal of what happens to people when you str...
"Warning 47! Warning!" I don't think I'll ever hear that word again without shivers running down my spine and fighting an impulsive desire to get up and walk somewhere - anywhere. The Long Walk is sadistically and brilliantly simple. One hundred teens from a dystopian alternate history America are a...
The Long Walk by Stephen King seriously impressed me. Every time I pick up a book by Stephen King, some piece of the book always reiterates why he is basically the storytelling master.

No doubt about it.The setting is dyst...
