What I'm Reading: Stories Inspired by Stephen King's The Stand

 What I'm Reading: 

The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand

Just released! I've been looking forward to reading this! The Stand happens to be one of my favorite books and I also love re-watching the original miniseries occasionally.

 I'm coming near the halfway point in the book, trying to read every day as it's a HUGE book at over 700 pages (like King's books!). 

I'll say so far it's an interesting set of stories. Really enjoying them. Only one gripe: They should be longer! I really want to know what happened with some of the new characters that were introduced... (Could there be a follow-up??)

* Update: Just became a New York Times Bestseller - #3 on the bestseller's list!

* Get it at Amazon - Bookshop.org - Goodreads

With an introduction by Stephen King, a foreword by Christopher Golden, and an afterword by Brian Keene. Contributors include Wayne Brady and Maurice Broaddus, Poppy Z. Brite, Somer Canon, C. Robert Cargill, Nat Cassidy, V. Castro, Richard Chizmar, S. A. Cosby, Tananarive Due and Steven Barnes, Meg Gardiner, Gabino Iglesias, Jonathan Janz, Alma Katsu, Caroline Kepnes, Michael Koryta, Sarah Langan, Joe R.
