Product description

Synopsis
This popular post-apocalyptic novel by master of horror Stephen King inspired a 1994 TV miniseries. A devastating flu escapes from its containment in a military biowarfare lab, killing most of the population of the United States, and by implication, the world. Those who remain, immune to the disease, receive dreams that lead them to align themselves either with the forces of good, led by a saintly, ancient woman named Mother Abigail; or the forces of evil, led by the enigmatic, demonic Randall/Richard Flagg, the Dark Man whose debut in this book was followed by appearances in several of Stephen King's later novels. Each group of people struggles to reclaim the remnants of civilization...and to prepare for the inevitable confrontation between the two sides.

My favorite book. Stephen King edited his original story himself and did a masterful job. Cuts right to the heart of the story. Recommend reading both versions, but find the edited version more concentrated and compelling.

I have been waiting for this book FOREVER! Thank you!!!

Created: 13/02/08
I am absolutely thrilled with the condition of this book. It is definitely as described. I thought since it was packed away for so long it would have a musty smell but no, I was thrilled. I have the whole collection of Stephen King Hardcover books now. This is the last one I was waiting for and it took me a long time to find one in this condition. It didn't have to be a first edition but I am glad now that it is since it is my favorite book by Stephen King. So I thank you so very, very much. I can't wait to read it again.

You have made someone who is going to be going through a lot of surgeries very soon, very happy. I am still trying to think if that is one I want to take with me to the hospital since I will be out of it most of the time. I will be very mad if someone walked away with this book, as I said it is in wonderful condition!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

Item purchased was an old copy of The Stand by Stephen King. The book looks quite old but that is exactly what i wanted. Still very readable. Dust jacket has seen better days but not hard to beleive from a book this old. Very pleased with purchase.
