Summary
The goal is to last the longest. There's one winner... and no finish line.
Every year, fifty boys set out from the very tip of Maine on a trek that will leave 49 of them dead. The last boy standing gets more money than you can imagine and one wish for whatever he wants.
George wanted to walk to make his country proud. He wanted a house for his family and a piano for his mom. Bill just wanted to bring his brother home. He didn't mean to make friends. He especially didn't mean to care about the group of Losers he met along the way.
aka: get up, losers, we're going on a walk.

Summary
Dear Stephen King, please forgive my transgressions for not setting this in Maine.
—
Billy Stebbins never left the small town he grew up in. He works at the garage his dad owns, lives with his mom, stepdad and two brothers, and has never really thought about life outside his town.
When his best friend Ray Garraty's cousin Richard Harkness comes to visit for winter break, Billy and Richard begin to slowly realize they might like each other as more than just acquaintances that see each other once a year for two weeks.

Summary
Beyond the finish line, it seems, should be the hills of eternity, where those who have left the trail or bought a ticket to the farm get.
Maybe, but it's too early for Garraty to go there this time. He will move on. After all, "go then, there are other worlds than these..."p.s. I've loved this fandom for ages. But English isn't my native language. Please correct me if you see a typo.

Summary
He's never wanted someone like this before. He's so fucking scared of it. Both the enormity of it and the target. But God, he's so sick of fighting. He's been so tired and so hurt for so long and he just wants to lay down and feel good, for once. Is that too much to ask? Just to feel something nice?

Summary
Despite the fact that America had more or less healed from all of those financial hardships, his family had not, so sixteen-year-old Wilbur King had trudged his way through the annual long walk and made it out the winner. His parents used the money to move to an expensive city, and he now had an older roommate in their apartment. Young Wilbur now has to deal with horrific memories from the walk, the slowly healing blisters on his feet, the reactions from the new roommate and his friends, nightmares and night terrors, sleepwalking, and flashbacks, all while barely remembering how to talk to people.

Summary
Collie’s not an idiot, and so he can tell you that there are five overall major things you need to know about their little subdivision of seniors.
1. For Ray Garraty and Pete McVries, life itself revolves solely around each other. They’re chemically conjoined, and no one can pry them apart.
2. Billy Stebbins is a brick wall. Do not talk to him unless you want to be shot down.
3. Hank Olson worships the ground Clementine Willis walks on for reasons Collie is still trying to uncover.
4. Do not begin a conversation with Richard Harkness unless you want to get lectured for forty-five minutes about every species of mushroom that grows in the woods behind the school.
5. If you're angry (you meaning Collie), you go to Gary Barkovitch. If you need to not be (you meaning all of them), you go to Art Baker.(prom, 1985)

Summary
“Oh, nice! That must be Art’s roommate. I haven’t gotten to meet him yet,” Olson points out, and Ray swallows and frowns as the other guy trailing closely behind Art comes into view. If Art is striking, the other guy is magnificent.
Ray has known plenty of guys to size each other up and gauge what types of things they may have to compete for - girls, wealth, success. Who’s stronger, smarter, more attractive? Ray feels suddenly unsettled in his presence, maybe a little self-conscious, but he’s felt the sting of jealousy before. This isn’t that. He doesn’t feel competitive. He’s not sure what it is he’s feeling.
OR: Ray meets his friend's new roommate and falls instantly and inexplicably in love.

Summary
#47, Pete McVries, has a girl back home. It takes a while to get him to open up about it, he’s cagey about his home life, the tinfoil wrapped package of cookies in his pack, and the photograph he keeps folded into quarters and tucked into his shirt pocket. Almost everyone’s tried to get a peek at it over his shoulder at one point or another, and Olson even gets a warning for interference when he tries to snatch it from his hands.
“C’mon,” Olson whines. “Why don’t you want us to see her? She ugly or something?”
“Prettiest thing you’ve ever seen.” McVries is finally coaxed into saying. “Big brown eyes, red hair, soft all over.”

Summary
Billy tries turning to look them in the face, but it's a futile attempt, one so pathetic it makes him want to cry. McVries comes to his bedside, puts a fever-checking palm on his forehead. That touch does something to Billy, and he stops fussing.
It's the most lucid he's felt in a while: there are memories in his head that are recent, not just inane childhood-hallucinations. He remembers the sabotage, the kind of insurrectionist action so loathed by his father. It happened not long after Arthur Baker's death. Then came the run-for-it, ride-for-it in the rebel car, the pain and the screaming and the careening out of the world.or: The last three Long Walkers are rescued by rebels before Stebbins has the opportunity to come clean about his family situation. Forced to lie low in an isolated cabin with his former competitors, he's grappling with old demons and questioning his loyalties.

Summary
A plague called the Maze Virus has previously swept through the country, transforming its victims into a homicidal, zombie-like state. A cure has been discovered, and 75% of those infected who could be captured have been treated and cured of the virus. The remaining 25% have proven resistant to the cure.
-
Premise inspired by The Cured (2017). In the aftermath of the Maze virus, a plague that drove the infected into homicidal rage before a cure was developed, survivors cling to grim, rigid routines inside a militarized city compound. Every morning before dawn, Pete wakes before the alarms and retrieves the day’s updated list: a roster of the living, the dead, the infected, the cured, and the resistant. Along with Collie and Richie, the only other two known survivors of their group, they scour the pages each morning for familiar names, hoping to find someone they lost during their brutal journey to safety.
