About this product

Product Information

Arguably the greatest horror novel ever written by the greatest horror novelist, this is a true Modern Classic that was first published in 1978, and then re-published in 1990, complete and unabridged, with 150,000 words cut from the first edition restored, and now accompanied by unusual and imaginative line art. The total copies for both editions, in hardcover and paperback, exceeds 4 million worldwide. The Stand is a truly terrifying reading experience, and became a four-part mini-series that memorably brought to life the cast of characters and layers of story from the novel. It is an apocalyptic vision of the world, when a deadly virus runs amok around the globe. But that lethal virus is almost benign compared to the satanic force gathering minions from those still alive to destroy humanity and create a world populated by evil. Stephen King is a brilliant storyteller who has the uncanny gift of putting ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, giving readers an experience that chills and thrills on every page.

The “Original Stand”
I’m a “constant reader” of Steven King but I truly almost put him down after he “re-released” The Stand touting it as the “original uncut” version. That was just wasn’t so. I was so excited when the “uncut” version came out...I couldn’t wait. But to my “horror” no pun intended, King made multiple references to things that simply did not exist in 1978 when the Stand was originally released. Spuds MacKenzie? Freddy Krueger? AIDS? I could go on and on. So clearly he did the re-write after and passed it of as the original. I was so mad! I’ve since forgiven my all time favorite writer for just trying to make a buck but this is the “original” Stand! And by far his true masterpiece that he simply should have left alone.
