The Stand is a post-apocalyptic horror/fantasy novel by
American author Stephen King. It expands upon the scenario of his earlier short
story, "Night Surf". The novel was originally published in 1978 and
was later re-released in 1990 as The Stand: The Complete & Uncut Edition;
King restored some text originally cut for brevity, added and revised sections,
changed the setting of the story from 1980 (which in turn was changed to 1985
for the original paperback release in 1980) to 1990, and updated a few pop culture
references accordingly. The Stand was nominated for the World Fantasy Award for
Best Novel in 1979, and was adapted into both a television miniseries for ABC
and a graphic novel published by Marvel Comics.
