This was written by Stephen King aka Richard Bachman: In quiet Placerville, Maine, a slightly twisted boy named Charles Decker holds 24 students of his algebra class at gunpoint after shooting 2 teachers. Abused by his father as a child, he describes the important parts of his life, and in the process, lets a lot of the students he holds hostage tell the rest of the class their "Dirty Secrets". As things progress, the students become more and more responsive to their captor, all except Ted Jones........

This was first titled "Getting it On" but was later renamed Rage, and released under Bachman's name. It has not been reprinted in the last few years as Stephen King thought it too violent, and similar to many killings in some American Schools.
