What Amazon Says:
Sice its initial publication in 1978, The Stand has been considered Stephen King's seminal masterpiece of apocalypitc fiction, with millions of copies sold and adapted twice for TV. Although there are other extraordinary works exploring the unraveling of human society, none have been as influential as this iconic novel - generations of writers have been impacted by its dark yet ultimately hopeful vision of the end and new beginning of civilization, and its stunning array of characters. Now for the first time, Stephen King has fully authorized a return to the harrowing world of The STand through this originla short story anthology as presented by award winning authors.
The Stand is my favorite King book and one of my favorite books ever. This is NOT a Stephen King book if people are wondering, though. This is by many many authors who write horror making up characters within the world of the Stand. Great idea, but you do realize from reading these short stories that King is the Master of this world. Not as good as I was hoping.
Stars: 3.5
