cmwilson101 Epic, apocalyptic tale of survival with supernatural elements of good v evil
sturlington Stephen King has said that Earth Abides was an inspiration for The Stand.
Bridgey America in breakdown although the stand is more supernatural. Both have groups of individuals trying to survive an apocalypse.
lquilter Terry Brooks' Armageddon's Children is basically a YA post-apocalyptic gathering of the forces, much like Stephen King's adult-fiction version, The Stand. Brooks' AC is more high-fantasy good-versus-evil, and King's is more Christian eschatology, but both involve dark forces working towards a final show-down, in a post-apocalyptic world.
BookshelfMonstrosity An ensemble cast of flu survivors journey across the U.S. and through the remains of civilization to fulfill their fated roles in these novels. The Stand is more graphic and action-packed, with a clear theme of good vs. evil.

It's almost a cliche for me to give an early King book a 5-star rating, but having come back to this book for the first time in about 25 years--and this, the original, intitially published, edited down edition (the superior one, in my opinion) for the first time in 38 years--I have to say I initially approached it with something like dread.
It's a long bloody book, and, to be honest, I'd forgotten much of it. But my initial thoughts were, it's gonna take me quite a while to wade through this. What if it doesn't grab like it did when I was sixteen?. I shouldn't have worried.
Not only did I enjoy it just as much as the first time, I think I likely enjoyed it even more. I know a hell of a lot more about music, and caught so many more of the show more musical references (I think the only one I remember back at the time was one King spelled out - The Eagles' Peaceful Easy Feeling. And I may not have even heard of Lovecraft back then, so all those references went right over my head, as well as most of the literary ones.
And, of course, now, 38 years after this book was published, the world has moved on. Back then, all the references were timely. Texas Instruments calculators. Boston and Chicago as thriving, relevant rock bands. Albums. Now, the fact that most of that stuff has passed on adds to the devastation for me, because I've lost it all, too.
But more than that, I'm a parent now. I'm an adult. I've experienced loss that the sixteen-year-old me had yet to experience. So much of the heart-wrenching passages both at the beginning and at the end hit home a lot harder for me.
There was also the surprising inclusion of Stephen King's father in a short, blink-and-you'd-miss-it passage about a traveling vacuum cleaning salesman named Donald King. And what's even more interesting, though it was a flashback, this book sets the disaster two years ahead, in 1980. The year the elder King died.
But what of the story itself? Does it still hold up? God, yes. I still bought in to the entire story, start to finish, character by character. And it was really the characters that made this book. Stu Redman's implacability, Fran Goldsmith's strength as well as her crying jags, Larry Underwood's tragic nobility, M-O-O-N, that spells Tom Cullen...all the others. But mostly, Harold Lauder who, when we first meet him, seems to be an avatar of the young Stephen King himself, and he almost plays him as if he was the King that made all the incorrect choices, instead of the correct ones. And, of course, Randall Flagg, who we meet early on, and then he virtually disappears for the middle half of the story, only to come roaring back in at the end. The passages used to describe him were absolute poetry.
So, though I remembered being that sixteen-year-old wide-eyed kid sitting in Mr. Corrigan's Grade 11 homeroom class, having just been lent the book by my best friend at the time and reading about the infected family in the car as they crashed through the pumps, and dreading having to go through that entire story again, I come out the other side a fifty-three-year-old man who just enjoyed a hell of a ride thanks to Stephen King and Captain Trips. show less

OK. So this is one of my most formative reading and re-reading experiences... 30 years ago. I hadn't read it in at least 20. Does it hold up?
...Kind of? Don't get me wrong, what I used to think was King's magnum opus is flawed as hell in a lot of ways. King's strength, in addition to all the horror stuff, was always empathy; his characters may not be enormously different from book to book, but they always worked. If The Stand really had been a 1990 novel it might have been a different book (for better or for worse), but in reality it is juvenalia - really impressive juvenalia, but still very obviously a 1975 novel by an aspiring writer, and then dug out of the desk and quickly dressed up for halloween 1990. For all that King tries to show more make it up-to-date, his America full of hippies, young Vietnam veterans, Nixon references and white blues singers is very obviously from another era. And that carries over to his character work; as much as he puts into most of his characters, he still has problems not writing women, POC, LGBT folk etc as anything but shallow stereotypes. Not insurmountable ones, especially in a cast of hundreds, but they're there. Good ol' boy from Texas? You get to be the hero. Demon from the depths of hell? You get a personality. Teenage girl? You get to be shrill. (And in fairness, King's own author avatar gets to be a pathetic wannabe villain, but at least one with depth.)
That said, the first 2/5ths or so of this book, where he kills off 99.4% of the US population, is still a stunning piece of work, no less so in the middle of an actual pandemic. Starting with a dozen or so characters and through them showing us society breaking down as things go from denial to panic to madness to silence, going into endless detail about all the mundanities of trying to survive in the middle of an apocalypse where there's nothing but your own and each other's demons to fight... It's so good it's almost a pity when the back half of the book turns into a big showdown between good and evil with more overt Christianity in it than King would ever have again. I say "almost" because it's still good (if obviously derivative of the hobbit books); Randall Flagg is one of his most memorable monsters, and the way he uses it to actually present a somewhat hopeful view of society, one where people don't necessarily want to be evil, and the lies they tell themselves to get through it only last so long, really works. In a way I find myself wishing this 1420-page book had another 200 pages of just random people in Boulder and Las Vegas finding their place in a new society.
Plus, y'know, it's probably one of the best bicycle novels written by an American who unironically uses the term "Detroit iron" for cars.
The Stand, in a weird way, is King's first stab at a Great American Novel, full of small towns and big cities, interstates and interior states (sorry)... And if its villain these days feels more like a populist politician convincing half the population they have to kill the other half in the face of a deadly pandemic, I'm not sure that makes this ol' 70s throwback any less timely. So I have to knock this down from the five stars my nostalgia gave it, but my inner teenager would kill me if I knock it down any further. show less

Baby, can you dig The Stand?
I’d never read King before this, but I knew his name, seen it in a dozen adaptations over twenty years. My first fear, Tim Curry’s Pennywise, terrorized me at eight years old. This year, in a promise to myself and my friends who love horror, I promised to branch out from my usual genres. I figured why not start with the biggest name?
The Stand was a book I picked up 4 years ago and then hastily abandoned when the real world suddenly developed a plague. The paperback sat menacingly on my shelf ever since, waiting to be returned to. I decided it would be my first go with SK and a lateral move from my usual fantasy doorstops, and I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it. I took breaks, I kept it in my car, and show more made sure not to burn myself out, but I loved the whole thing start to finish.
King has a cadence that’s nothing short of addicting; and the way he blends little fears and stark moments of humanity into insane concepts like a world ending plague kept me hooked. There’s a level of hamminess, I suppose, like an old movie or a classic play, to his characters, but it only makes me love them more. Larry Underwood, Randall Flagg, and Stu Redman jumped off the page the same way Curry and Nicholson did for King’s adaptations. I know this is in many ways atypical of his books due to its length and variety of POVs, but I was thoroughly entertained and hooked throughout. Whatever complaints I could raise don’t soil the experience in the slightest. I can’t wait for more. show less

I am not a reader or horror or thrillers, but I do occasionally read apocalyptic-dystopian fiction, and The Stand has been noted as one of Stephen King’s best. So, here I am reading this behemoth of a book (over 1300 pages). I read the uncut version, which restores about 400 pages that had previously been eliminated when the book was originally published.
The underlying premise is that a virulent “superflu,” developed by a US governmental biological warfare program, is accidentally unleashed on the population of the world, resulting in a 99 percent death rate. The survivors are driven by dreams to migrate to two areas: one in Boulder, Colorado (by way of Nebraska), led by 108-year-old Christian, Mother Abigail, and the other in show more Las Vegas, Nevada, led by the evil Randall Flagg.
My main complaint, unsurprisingly, is that this book is unnecessarily long. There are several episodes that could have easily been omitted without affecting the storyline. For example, at one point we leave all the main characters to describe random people across the country who survived the original decimation of the population from disease only to die in other horrific ways. We have already heard about numerous gruesome deaths, so all this padding is just gratuitous violence – one of the main reasons I avoid reading King in the first place.
So, what did I like? Actually, quite a bit. I liked the overall concept of the battle of good and evil. I liked the gradual build-up. I enjoyed reading about the individual experiences of the characters, especially the stories of those in the “Free Zone” (the good guys). They start out in ones and twos, and gradually converge to a central location as they seek out other survivors. I enjoyed the creativity of the narrative. There is a manic quality to the experience, and I can see why it is lauded. show less

There was a time when King was the man standing on the anthill looking down upon his peers. The Stand was written in that time. In reality I feel that many of his books are no better than some of his contemporaries... he just got luckier. The stand starkly stands out as a crowning achievement in his first era. Well written and utterly terrifying, The Stand will forever be an epic standard for the genre. With characters you are unable to forget and a plot that today may seem simply overdone, The Stand is indicative to us a species. Once you read it you will love it or hate it, but you will never forget it. Unfortunately The Stand is one those King Novels turned into a television movie and is watered down to the point of madness and once show more you see the film you can never get it out of your head while attempting to read the novel. So do yourself a favor read the book first. show less
Read on Kindle and finished via Audiobook I believe
There's too much to say here but I read the expanded edition and it was extremely interesting - I cant see at this point what I would remove to shorten the book - almost every character and chapter seemed important.
Very much enjoyed this book - the characters were real and the story was beyond captivating. It is very long - it almost seems like the first half of the book is an entirely different book once you get near the ending.
I did have a question about the end where the giant ball of energy comes down and touches the nuke - I'm not quite sure how Flagg (or the man in black) (or the walkin' dude) lost control of it like that. I did not think I would see Stu Redman again that's for show more sure.
Again great book, I look forward to reading it again soon. show less

I really enjoy Stephen King's style of storytelling but this story got bogged down and was too contrived. My favorite chapter in this book was the one that simply told stories of minor characters who escaped the viral holocaust only to die in other (often humorous) ways. The main theme of the book, however, was too religious and simplistic for me.
I have no doubt the the old me would have really enjoyed this book and its message had I finished it 20 years ago when I first tried. Now, it is hard for me to enjoy stories that are presented in such black and white extremes. We live in a world of gray.

Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine, on September 21, 1947. After graduating with a Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Maine at Orono in 1970, he became a teacher. His spare time was spent writing short stories and novels. King's first novel would never have been published if not for his wife. She removed the first few show more chapters from the garbage after King had thrown them away in frustration. Three months later, he received a $2,500 advance from Doubleday Publishing for the book that went on to sell a modest 13,000 hardcover copies. That book, Carrie, was about a girl with telekinetic powers who is tormented by bullies at school. She uses her power, in turn, to torment and eventually destroy her mean-spirited classmates. When United Artists released the film version in 1976, it was a critical and commercial success. The paperback version of the book, released after the movie, went on to sell more than two-and-a-half million copies. Many of King's other horror novels have been adapted into movies, including The Shining, Firestarter, Pet Semetary, Cujo, Misery, The Stand, and The Tommyknockers. Under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, King has written the books The Running Man, The Regulators, Thinner, The Long Walk, Roadwork, Rage, and It. He is number 2 on the Hollywood Reporter's '25 Most Powerful Authors' 2016 list. King is one of the world's most successful writers, with more than 100 million copies of his works in print. Many of his books have been translated into foreign languages, and he writes new books at a rate of about one per year. In 2003, he received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. In 2012 his title, The Wind Through the Keyhole made The New York Times Best Seller List. King's title's Mr. Mercedes and Revival made The New York Times Best Seller List in 2014. He won the Edgar Allan Poe Award in 2015 for Best Novel with Mr. Mercedes. King's title Finders Keepers made the New York Times bestseller list in 2015. Sleeping Beauties is his latest 2017 New York Times bestseller. (Bowker Author Biography) Stephen King is the author of more than thirty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers. Among his most recent are "Hearts in Atlantis", "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon", "Bag of Bones", & "The Green Mile". "On Writing" is his first book of nonfiction since "Danse Macabre", published in 1981. He served as a judge for Prize Stories: The Best of 1999, The O. Henry Awards. He lives in Bangor, Maine with his wife, novelist Tabitha King. King's book, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams: Stories, made the 2015 New York Times bestseller list. (Publisher Provided) show less
