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
