    It's a book, not a short story.
    Technically it's a novella. It was (and still is, I presume) in The Bachman Books. Funny enough, it was my second favorite story in the book, after Rage.

    I believe they were first released separately as novels by the pseudonym Richard Bachman. They were later collected and released as The Bachman Books by Stephen King.

    This could certainly be true. I don't know exactly how they were originally released. The Bachman Books was how I became aware of them.

    ...after Rage.
    I really liked The Running Man, if only because it was vastly more complex than the movie. I should really reread a lot of those. I don't remember caring for Roadwork much.

    I don't remember either of those very well. I read it in the beginning of high school, which would have been about 12 years ago now. Both Rage and The Long Walk were unforgettable though.
