Book Details:
  • This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death.
  • And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides -- or are chosen. A world in which good rides on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abigail -- and the worst nightmares of evil are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the dark man.
  • In 1978 Stephen King published The Stand, the novel that is now considered to be one of his finest works. But as it was first published, The Stand was incomplete, since more than 150,000 words had been cut from the original manuscript.
  • Now Stephen King's apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil has been restored to its entirety. The Stand : The Complete And Uncut Edition includes more than five hundred pages of material previously deleted, along with new material that King added as he reworked the manuscript for a new generation. It gives us new characters and endows familiar ones with new depths. It has a new beginning and a new ending. What emerges is a gripping work with the scope and moral comlexity of a true epic.
  • For hundreds of thousands of fans who read The Stand in its original version and wanted more, this new edition is Stephen King's gift. And those who are reading The Stand for the first time will discover a triumphant and eerily plausible work of the imagination that takes on the issues that will determine our survival.

This was free in October 2020 when I got it. I read it, it was great, I'd happily pay $2. Not as good as 11/22/63 or The Talisman, I think. But it's very good, and I think the extra 400-ish pages in this uncut edition does add to the story and epic-ness.

lol those are sort of random comparisons. I believe the Differ bros are making Talisman a series which would be cool

This is King's war and peace bug squasher novel. Not sure why they used the recent TV show for the thumbnail

Read this as a kid. Amazing.
Is this abridged or unabridged?

I just finished the audiobook this morning on a run, then unabridged version is almost 48 hours long. I enjoyed it, I think it was in a B1G1 sale on Audible so I essentially paid $5-7 for it. Absolutely worth that.

The acting was fantastic in the show, but I lost interest. Is the book better?

The book doesn't hop around like it does in the new Paramount remake. Harold is a lot different in the book, with a progression toward crazy instead of the instant psycho he's portrayed in the show. Character development was a lot better in the book, too. For $2, it's a good gamble.
