The iconic bestseller from Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman – now with a stunning new cover look.

The Long Walk: A chilling look at the ultra-conservative America of the future where a gruelling 450-mile marathon is the ultimate sports competition.

Roadwork: An immovable man refuses to surrender to the irresistible force of progress.

The Running Man: TV’s future-favourite game show, where contestants are hunted to death in the attempt to win a $1 billion jackpot.
