Stephen King has published roughly 65 novels, a dozen short story collections, and several book-length pieces of nonfiction. Most of his novels have been reissued countless times in paperback, but they almost always begin their rapid climb up the bestseller charts in hardcover.
Two of King's best novels, The Long Walk and The Running Man, published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, are now available in standalone hardcover editions for the first time.
Thanks to King's publisher Scribner, constant readers can now fill the gaps in their collections with these welcome surprises.
