From the River Forest Library - Tara’s October Recommendation
River Forest Library staffer recommends Stephen King's The Stand as a Halloween read.
The Stand by Stephen King
Just in time for Halloween, here’s a horror novel that will knock your socks off! The story begins with a lethal viral accident that occurs in a military lab. Only one man escapes alive, and lives to infect his family and all of the nearby cities. As the world begins to crumble, two camps begin to emerge. One camp is led by a 108 year old woman named Abigail. The other is led a lethal man with unspeakable powers, Randall Flagg. The Stand is a futuristic, dystopian horror novel set in the United States. King combines skilled character development with gory detail that will keep you reading to the very end. A warning to the squeamish–this may not be the book for you!
