The Stand is a post-apocalyptic dark fantasy novel by Stephen King, first published in 1978. The story revolves around the aftermath of a deadly pandemic, with survivors aligning under either good or evil forces, led by Mother Abagail and Randall Flagg, respectively. The novel has been adapted into two miniseries (1994, 2020), comics, and has inspired songs. The novel is widely acclaimed and remains one of King’s most significant works.
