#1 BESTSELLER ā€¢ Stephen Kingā€™s apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and tangled in an elemental struggle between good and evil remains as rivetingā€”and eerily plausibleā€”as when it was first published.

One of The Atlanticā€™s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years! This edition includes all of the new and restored material first published in The Stand: The Complete and Uncut Edition.

A patient escapes from a biological testing facility, unknowingly carrying a deadly weapon: a mutated strain of super-flu that will wipe out 99 percent of the worldā€™s population within a few weeks. Those who remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emergeā€”Mother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the nefarious ā€œDark Man,ā€ who delights in chaos and violence. As the dark man and the peaceful woman gather power, the survivors will have to choose between themā€”and ultimately decide the fate of all humanity.

"A master storyteller."ā€”Los Angeles Times
