THE STAND by Stephen King

The Stand kicks of with a worldwide plague killing off about 95% of the world's population (although we focus on the US for the purposes of this book). And then some spooky events start up, resulting in good vs evil Armageddon of sorts. For obvious reasons, the premise of the book is a bit scary, during covid-19 days.
   The Stand is indubitably one of the best books on my shelves. This must be about the fourth time I've read it, and even though I knew what was coming almost all the way through, I still enjoyed it. It's a rare book that can do that.
   Mind you, this time around I spotted a handful of typos! You can find them on my editorial site, on the errata page. But don't let that stop you from reading the book, if you haven't already. In my opinion, King is an underrated author, and this is his best work.
