The Stand

Widely regarded as the greatest horror novel by one of the greatest horror writers of all time, The Stand is a true modern classic. First published in 1978 and republished in 1990 in its complete, unabridged form—with 150,000 words restored from the original edition—this edition also features imaginative and striking line art. 

A chilling and immersive reading experience, The Stand was adapted into a memorable four-part miniseries that brought its sprawling cast of characters and intricate story to life. The novel presents an apocalyptic vision of the world devastated by a deadly virus—but the virus is only the beginning. A malevolent, almost satanic force rises from the surviving population, gathering followers to spread evil and remake humanity in its own dark image. With suspense, horror, and unforgettable characters.
