Book Description

The Long Walk is set in a grim near-future America where one hundred teenage boys compete in an annual walking contest in which slowing down means death. As the boys march endlessly under armed guard, friendships form and fracture under physical exhaustion and psychological pressure, turning the competition into a brutal examination of endurance, authority, and the human will to survive.

About Author

Stephen King (born 1947) is an American author widely regarded as one of the most influential and bestselling writers of modern fiction. Raised in Maine, King began writing at an early age and struggled financially before achieving breakthrough success with Carrie in 1974. The novel’s popularity launched a prolific career marked by an extraordinary output across multiple decades, with many of his works rooted in small-town American life and psychological realism.

Known primarily for Horror, King has also written extensively in Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Thriller genres, often blending the supernatural with deeply human fears and emotions. His novels and short stories—including The Shining, It, Misery, and The Dark Tower series—have been adapted into numerous films and television series, cementing his cultural impact. With over 400 million copies sold worldwide, King’s legacy rests on his ability to make the ordinary terrifying and the fantastical profoundly human.
