Description: 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. 

THE STAND first appeared in 1978 and has since been regarded by many as Stephen King's greatest book. However, a considerable amount of the original work had been cut from the published version. Only now has this material been restored, with a new foreword by the author in THE STAND: For the First Time. Complete and Uncut.
