The post-apocalyptic epic from the master of horror literature. King's prophetic vision of a world ravaged by a deadly epidemic and at the mercy of the eternal battle between good and evil. A man escapes from a biological testing facility and transmits a mutated strain of the flu, which wipes out ninety-nine percent of humanity within a matter of weeks.
Those who survive are terrified and bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two candidates emerge – Mother Abagail, a kind-hearted 108-year-old woman who encourages them to create a community in Boulder, Colorado, and Randall Flagg, the sinister "dark man" who seeks chaos and violence. In the struggle between the two for power, the survivors are called to choose the right leader – and ultimately, to determine the fate of humanity.
