Rage
Novel by Stephen King

Either King got sensitive about school shootings or he wanted to build more mystique around it. Like all his stuff, at worst it’s really fun.

Quote:

When King decided to let Rage fall out of print in the United States, it remained available only as part of The Bachman Books. In contrast, the other novels that appeared in that compilation - The Long Walk, Roadwork, and The Running Man - are available separately in the USA. Rage remained available in the United Kingdom and other countries in The Bachman Books for a time, but later appeared to become unavailable.[9] New editions of The Bachman Books do not include Rage.

...

King said, in his keynote address at the VEMA Annual Meeting on May 26, 1999: "The Carneal incident was enough for me. I asked my publisher to take the damned thing out of print. They concurred."

Just finished it.

First published between The Shining and The Stand as Bachman. Must have been written earlier though. Like a less polished up Carrie sans the supernatural. ****ed up 1970’s high schoolers.
