The Stand

First came the days of the plague. Then came the dreams.

Dark dreams that warned of the coming of the dark man. The apostate of death, his worn-down boot heels tramping the night roads. The warlord of the charnel house and Prince of Evil.

His time is at hand. His empire grows in the west and the Apocalypse looms..

“Taught me the power of telling a story in which the pages literally seem to turn themselves.”

A writer of excellence...King is one of the most fertile storytellers of the modern novel - Sunday Times

'King is the greatest popular novelist of our day, comparable to Dickens'. - Toby Litt, Guardian

In 2003, he was given the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lives with his wife, the novelist Tabitha King, for most of the year in Maine, USA.
