King wrote this story a long, long time ago. It was one of his first, published under his pseudonym of Richard Bachman. It's actually a great story and it's truly devastating, especially if you're a parent. Sure, the premise is a little out there, but if people believe the Mockingbird crap, The Long Walk is plausible. The story, though, is good. And if you like horror, it's worth a read. King is surely a complete ass, but he used to be a great writer.
Did not know, thanks.
What mocking bird crap, point me in a direction. Thanks.
I think it’s called Hunger Games? There’s a mockingbird somewhere in it.
