The Stand

Rereading The Stand (after almost 30 years since I first read it) reminded me of all the things I like and dislike about Stephen King. His longer books (as this one is over 1,000 pages) tend to be long in the journey and short in the wrap up. Sometimes good and sometimes bad. Nevertheless, the man can write a horror and I'll always be a fan.

The Stand has long been a favorite of mine. It is classic good against evil, with a plague that kick-starts the end of the world...some immune and most not. It's scary this was written so long ago and some aspects reflect the current state of the world.
