From the Publisher:
The tie-in edition of the nine-part series starring Whoopi Goldberg, Alexander Skarsgard, and James Marsden, coming in the UK from Starzplay, premiering on 3 January, 2021.

FIRST CAME THE VIRUS. AND THEN THE DREAMS...
A man escapes from a biological testing facility, unknowingly carrying a deadly weapon: a mutated strain of super-flu that will wipe out over 99 percent of the world's population within a few weeks.

Those who remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emerge - Mother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the 'dark man', the apostate of death, the warlord of the charnel house and Prince of Evil.

Now the survivors must choose between them - and ultimately decide the fate of all humanity.

Stephen King's apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and tangled in an elemental struggle between good and evil is a classic for our times.

Stephen King's apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and tangled in an elemental struggle between good and evil remains as riveting -- eerily plausible -- as when it was first published. The New York Times called it "the book that has everything. Adventure. Romance. Prophecy. Allegory. Satire. Fantasy. Realism. Apocalypse. Great!"

Stephen King: The Stand (USA 1990)

From the Publisher:
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 Abagail -- and the worst nightmares of evil are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the dark man.

Stephen King: The Stand (UK 1987)

From the Publisher:
First came the days of the plague. Civilisation devastated by the death-dealing pestilence. Cities choked with rotting corpses. The air heavy with the ear-shattering silence. Stunned survivors emerged, immune to the plague. A handful out of millions, they sought out others like themselves to slowly and painfully build a new world. Then came the dreams. Dark dreams that warned of the coming of the dark man. His worn-down boot heels walking the roads and his red eyes piercing the night. The apostate of evil, warlord of the charnel house, prince of torture and death. In the far west his empire was growing. It is the time of the Apocalypse. The last titanic struggle between good and evil for the mastery of the world.
