The name on the covers was Richard Bachman but the imagination could only belong to one man: Stephen King. For years, readers wrote asking if Richard Bachman was really world-bestselling author Stephen King writing under another name. Now the secret is out - and so, brought together in one volume, are these three spellbinding stories of future shock and suspense. 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.
