The Bachman Books - Stephen King

The Bachman Books From No. 1 Bestseller Stephen King — Writing as Richard Bachman Before the world learned that Richard Bachman was in fact Stephen King, these powerful, unsettling tales of near-future America had already become cult classics. Now collected in one definitive volume, The Bachman Books showcases three of King’s most provocative works of dystopian suspense and psychological tension. The Stories The Long Walk – In a chilling vision of America’s future, one hundred teenage boys are forced to compete in a 450-mile endurance contest where slowing down means death. Roadwork – When progress threatens to destroy his home and livelihood, one man’s quiet rebellion spirals into obsession and tragedy. The Running Man – In a darkly prophetic look at reality-TV culture, desperate contestants are hunted for sport in a deadly game show promising a billion-dollar prize.

Publisher’s Note: Includes The Running Man, also available as a standalone novel. Why You’ll Love The Bachman Books Three full-length novels in one volume – The Long Walk, Roadwork, and The Running Man. A rare glimpse into King’s alter-ego – The pen-name experiment that shocked fans worldwide. Prescient and politically charged storytelling – Exploring freedom, conformity, and the cost of entertainment. Perfect for fans of 1984, The Hunger Games, and Black Mirror.
