(1977) Rage

Today it seems unnervingly prescient, and in fact school shootings in 1989, 1996, and 1997 were apparently influenced by the book. After a fourth incident, when a 14 year old boy named Michael Carneal shot eight students at his high school, killing three, and also turned out to have Rage in his possession, King requested that the publisher let the book go out of print.

Rage (King novel)
Rage (written as Getting It On; the title was changed before publication) is the first novel by Stephen King published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman in 1977. It was collected in 1985 in the hardcover omnibus The Bachman Books. The novel describes a school shooting, and has been associated with actual high school shooting incidents in the 1980s and 1990s. As a result, King has allowed the novel to fall out of print.

This is a heavy book with a heavy theme. I'm glad I read it but I'm also glad I don't have to read it again. It is very very well written though.

King has written another novel about a murderous high school student, Carrie, Carrie doesn't seem to inspire the uncomfortable feeling Rage did, for him to allow it to go out of print.

Rage by Stephen King - Fourth Street Review
Rage is filled with the angst, insecurity, and anger that typically permeates at least some part of our teenage years mine included and King relied heavily upon his own pain and frustration experienced in high school while writing this novel.

Examining the Apparatus: Theme Analysis: Stephen King's RAGE (1977)
I thought I was about to read a plot-driven, suspenseful tale of a troubled youth, but I was pleased when I realized this early novel was actually a more â??literary,â? Freudian exploration of a troubled teenâ??s psychological experiment (and it still had enough page-turning suspense to hasten my reading).
