A wide variety of impressive authors contributed to this new 800-page anthology, which takes place in the world of Stephen King's "The Stand." I think the book did justice to King's masterpiece, and it is definitely worth the read if you are a fan.

The Stand is one of my favorite books. This anthology (with all of the best horror writers taking inspiration from The Stand) was a first: it gave me some nightmares and anxiety! Couldn‘t put down, but decided to try again later. It‘s stories a great but for me it was too much. Rate: pick. Why? The talent. And fact that it got to me on an emotional level.

Reggie So I‘m bought The Stand and this book to read in October. I‘m super excited. 1w
DrasticallyJill @Reggie The Stand is a fantastic book! It really is incredible. And I think that it is a big inspiration to horror writers around the world which The End of the World as we know It showcases. 2d
