Overview
Notes From Your Bookseller
In The Stand, Stephen King delivers a profound and sweeping post-apocalyptic epic that pits the forces of good against evil in a devastated world. After a bioengineered superflu wipes out nearly the entire human population, the few survivors are drawn to two diametrically opposed figures: Mother Abagail, a wise and benevolent 108-year-old woman, and Randall Flagg, the sinister and charismatic “Dark Man.” As the remnants of humanity choose sides, morality, community, and survival hang in the balance across the barren American landscape. Originally released in 1978 as an 823-page “cut” version, King restored over 400 pages in 1990’s Definitive & Uncut Edition, offering readers a richer, more immersive narrative spanning 1,152 pages. Across its immense scope, The Stand explores themes of leadership, faith, sacrifice, and the cyclical nature of good versus evil—with an irresistible epic quality akin to The Lord of the Rings, but deeply rooted in contemporary fears and hope. The novel stands as a hallmark of speculative fiction: frighteningly plausible, morally resonant, and emotionally compelling—an unforgettable journey into humanity’s darkest and most redemptive impulses.

About the Author
Stephen King, widely regarded as one of the most influential authors in the world, has shaped the genre of horror, supernatural fiction, and suspense for over five decades. Born on September 21, 1947, in Portland, Maine, King’s passion for writing emerged early in his life. He started his career as a high school English teacher, but his true calling was always storytelling. His breakthrough came with the publication of Carrie in 1974, a novel that cemented his place in the literary world.
King’s writing is known for its gripping narratives, deeply developed characters, and a unique ability to tap into universal fears. His works often explore the dark side of human nature, with stories such as The Shining, It, and Misery becoming global phenomena. Over the years, his novels have been adapted into films, television series, and even plays, broadening his influence beyond literature.
Despite experiencing personal hardships, including a near-fatal car accident in 1999, King has continued to write prolifically. His consistent ability to craft bestsellers has earned him numerous awards, including the National Medal of Arts. With over 60 novels and 200 short stories, Stephen King remains a towering figure in contemporary literature, captivating readers with his blend of horror, fantasy, and psychological depth. His legacy as the “King of Horror” is undisputed.
