Rage

Published in 1977, 'Rage' is the first novel Stephen King wrote under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.

The story follows Charlie Decker, a troubled high school student in Maine, who kills his algebra teacher and takes his class hostage.

During the standoff, Charlie forces his classmates to reveal their deepest secrets, creating a tense and introspective atmosphere.

The novel delves into themes of bullying, social isolation, and the complex emotional struggles of adolescence.

Due to its association with real-life school shootings, King allowed the book to fall out of print in the late 1990s.
